Morphology
misandry = mis + andr + y
The negative prefix 'mis-' is clear, but the base 'andr-' is a Greek combining form (not a standalone English word), so learners who do not know similar forms may not reliably infer the meaning.
Etymology
The word misandry comes from Greek parts: mis- meaning 'hate', as in misanthrope, 'someone who hates people', and andr- meaning 'man', as in android, so misandry means 'hatred of men'.
