-andry
See also: andry
English
Etymology
From three inextricable sources:
- the Ancient Greek -ανδρία (-andría), forming abstract nouns of quality or condition from ἀνήρ (anḗr, “man”, “husband”);
- Ancient Greek ἀνδρ- (andr-) (andr-: the stem of ἀνήρ (anḗr)) + English -y (suffix forming abstract nouns of quality or condition); and,
- the -andry element of polyandry [1680].
