misogyn

Etymology

Learned borrowing from Ancient Greek μισογύνης (misogúnēs).

noun

  1. Synonym of misogynist.“Instead of the vehement and almost slanderous dehortation from marriage, which the Misogyne, [Giovanni] Boccaccio (Vita e Costumi di Dante, p. 12, 16) addresses to literary men, I would substitute the simple advice: be not merely a man of letters! Let literature be an honourable augmentation to your arms; but not constitute the coat, or fill the escutchion!”
