Morphology
androgen = andro + gen (semi-transparent) = andro + gen
Built from technical combining forms 'andro-' (male) + '-gen' (producer/substance); the meaning is accessible to learners familiar with such medical/scientific elements but not to average B1 learners.
Etymology
Androgen comes from Greek parts andro- meaning 'man' and -gen meaning 'to produce', the same idea you see in generate. So an androgen is a substance that 'produces' and 'keeps' male features, which is why it means a male sex hormone.
