- 1鐵人三項（賽事名稱）；（形容人）超級強悍的人；鋼鐵人（電影角色）
"Ironman" usually refers to one of two things. Most commonly today, it's the name of an extremely tough long-distance race that combines swimming, biking, and running all in one day — finishing one is seen as an physical achievement. People also use "iron man" (as two words) more generally for someone who seems incredibly tough or able to keep going without getting tired. It's also the name of a famous superhero, a rich inventor who wears a powerful metal suit.
From the word’s history
iron + man, first used of pitcher Joe McGinnity, who worked in an iron foundry off-season.
iron（鐵）＋man，最早稱一位棒球投手，他休賽季在鑄鐵廠工作。
組成iron + man — literally "a man made of iron," meaning extremely strong and tough.
