Definition
神人 is a compound noun that can refer to a person with extraordinary abilities or wisdom — someone who seems almost godlike — or, in a more literal sense, to a deity or immortal being. In modern usage it's often used hyperbolically to describe someone exceptionally skilled or impressive, similar to 'legend' or 'god' in English slang. It also appears in classical or mythological contexts to mean 'gods and humans' together.
