Combining or showing both masculine and feminine characteristics in appearance, behavior, or nature.
From Greek 'androgynos' (andros 'man' + gyne 'woman'). The Latin-influenced '-ous' ending makes it an adjective. First widely used in English during the 16th century.
David Bowie and Prince revolutionized pop culture partly through androgynous presentation, but botanists have used this term for centuries to describe flowers with both male and female reproductive parts.
