“Womanly words” indeed. My wife’s always asking for Gyn & Tonic:-)

@ Dennis: Glad you like them. I enjoy nosing out these gems.

@ Charity: That one was new to me, too. I’ve always called them ‘female androids’ but now I have a more accurate word to use.

I was pleasantly surprised by the word “gynoid” when I came across it on your list. I’ve never heard it before, yet it makes perfect sense! We’re all so accustomed to its male equivalent, “android,” but I’d never really given any thought to the etymology of the word before. I love little things like that, and normally I catch them on my own– but not this one! Thanks for bringing this bit of fun to my attention.

You have selected a nice list of Greek Words to share with us all. I will have to keep them available. You never know what words will be needed when you are writing.
