In botany, the female reproductive organ or pistil of a flower.
From Greek 'gyne' (woman) + '-ium' (Latin neuter noun ending). This is a classical botanical term using feminine-gendered terminology for the female parts of flowers.
Botanists call the female part of a flower the 'gynerium' or 'pistil'—both terms literally gender the plant, with 'gynerium' emphasizing the 'female' aspect even though these organs are neither male nor female but rather contain both genetic functions.
