'androgonia' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'androgonia,' where 'andro-' meant 'man' and '-gonia' meant 'generation' or 'origin.'

'androgonia' was adopted into scientific Latin from Greek 'androgonia,' and eventually became the modern English word 'androgonia.'

Initially, it meant 'the generation of males,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'the presence of both male and female characteristics.'
