A person or organism that combines or exhibits both male and female characteristics; an androgynous individual.
From Greek 'andro-' (male) + 'gyn-' (female), shortened from the full form. Used since at least the 16th century to describe people who didn't fit typical gender categories.
The word 'androgyn' appears in medieval alchemy texts where philosophers were literally searching for the 'perfect being' that combined male and female—they were obsessed with androgyny centuries before modern gender discussions.
