Origin of Gynecocracy

  • Neologism, no etymology, but constructed from Greek gune, -aikos (γυνή, -αικος) 'woman' and kratos (κράτος) 'power'. Disambiguates usage of matriarchy: gynecocracy refers to societies ruled by women, distinct from matrilineal bequeathing of property and matrilocal residence of brides.
