-andry

From three inextricable sources:

• the Ancient Greek -ανδρία (-andría), forming abstract nouns of quality or condition from ἀνήρ (anḗr, “man”, “husband”);
• Ancient Greek ἀνδρ- (andr-) (andr-: the stem of ἀνήρ (anḗr)) + English -y (suffix forming abstract nouns of quality or condition); and,
• the -andry element of polyandry [1680].

• (Received Pronunciation) enPR: -ănʹdri, (dated) -ăndrĭ; IPA^(key): /-ˈandɹi/, (dated) /-ændɹɪ/, (dated)
