The act of capturing or taking a man; a variant or related form of androlepsia used in legal or classical contexts.
Alternative form of androlepsia, from Greek andros (man) + lepsy (taking). Both forms appear in historical legal texts and classical Greek writings describing male-specific capture.
The existence of two different spellings—androlepsy and androlepsia—shows how ancient Greek legal terms got filtered through Latin into English, creating slight variations that confuse even historians studying ancient law codes.
