Morphology
philogyny = philo + gyny
Formed from Greek combining forms 'philo-' (love) and '-gyny' (women); the meaning is predictable to users familiar with classical roots but not to average B1 learners because the components are not standalone English words.
Etymology
Philogyny comes from Greek parts philo- 'love' and gyn- 'woman', and the philo- part is the same as in philosophy, which means 'love of wisdom'. So philogyny means admiration or love for women.
