() From three inextricable sources:
* the Ancient Greek -ανδρία (-andria), forming abstract nouns of quality or condition from ἀνήρ (anēr, “man”, “husband”);
* Ancient Greek ἀνδρ- (andr-: the stem of ἀνήρ) + English -y (suffix forming abstract nouns of quality or condition); and,
* the -andry element of polyandry .
