gynandrousadj.

Brit. /dʒɪˈnandrəs/, /ɡʌɪˈnandrəs/, U.S. /dʒɪˈnændrəs/, /ɡaɪˈnændrəs/
Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Partly formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: Latin gynander , -ous suffix; gyno- comb. form, -androus comb. form.
Etymology: Partly (in sense 1) < post-classical Latin gynander (see gynander n.) + -ous suffix, and partly (in sense 2) < gyno- comb. form + -androus comb. form. Compare ancient Greek γύνανδρος (of a man) effeminate. Compare earlier androgynous adj.
