A weak androgen hormone produced by the adrenal gland that contributes to male sexual characteristics.
From 'adreno-' (adrenal gland) + 'sterone' (a chemical suffix for hormones with a particular structure).
Women's bodies produce adrenosterone from their adrenal glands, which is why women have some male characteristics like body hair and muscle—it shows that sex hormones aren't strictly separated by gender.
