'andric' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'anēr, andros,' where 'andr-' meant 'man' or 'male.'

'andric' was formed in modern English using the Greek root 'andr-' and the suffix '-ic' to create an adjective meaning 'pertaining to men.'

Initially, it meant 'relating to men or males,' and this meaning has remained consistent in modern usage.
