Morphology

androgenic = androgen (transparent) = androgen + ic

Formed by the productive adjective-forming suffix '-ic' on the noun 'androgen', so the meaning 'relating to androgens' is directly derived.

Etymology

Androgenic comes from the root andro- meaning 'man' and the part -genic meaning 'producing' or 'causing', similar to genetic or generate. So androgenic describes something that 'produces' male traits, usually because of male hormones called androgens.
