Androginous

/ænˈdrɒdʒɪnəs/ adjective

Definition

An alternative spelling of androgynous; having both male and female characteristics.

Etymology

Variant spelling combining Greek 'andro-' (male) + 'gyn-' (female) with the Latin suffix '-ous' (full of). The spelling is less common than 'androgynous' in modern usage.

Kelly Says

This spelling variation reveals how English was still flexible about combining Greek and Latin roots in the 19th century—today's standardized spelling 'androgynous' eventually won out, but both forms prove the concept fascinated early scientists.
