词源

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. First attested in 1680.
