Etymology
The word androgenetic combines the Greek root andro- ('male' or 'man') and -genetic ('birth' or 'origin'), so it literally means 'from the male'. You can see the second part in familiar words like gene and genetic, and that's why androgenetic describes reproduction or development that comes only from male genetic material.
