Ways to tell them apart:
- Androgenous is less commonly used compared to androgynous.
- Androgenous relates more specifically to male characteristics or hormones, like androgen.
- Androgynous describes something that has both male and female characteristics.
- Remember, andro in both suggests a male aspect, but gyn in androgynous hints at femininity, just like gyn in gynecology.
- When in doubt, think of androgynous as being gender-blending or gender-neutral in style or appearance, while androgenous is more about male traits.
