Ways to tell them apart:
- Androgenous refers to something related to hormones, specifically male hormones.
- Androgynous means having characteristics of both genders, or being gender-neutral.
- Remember that andro refers to male in both cases, but -genous implies production (like hormone-producing).
- And gynous refers to characteristics or appearances (hence the gender-blending or neutral aspect).
- If something is androgenous, it relates to hormonal aspects, whereas if someone or something is androgynous, it blends or neutralizes gender traits.
