Why does /usr/share/dict/words contain "manbird" on OSX?

What is the source of this file on OSX specifically? And why would it contain "manbird" which is clearly not a word: https://uglyamericans.fandom.com/wiki/Manbird

Apparently the word was in at least one dictionary.

But it seems strange that they'd include that and not dogcow.
