Word origin
The word 'male' originated from the Latin word 'masculus', which means 'masculine'. The concept of male gender has been present in human societies since ancient times, with males often holding positions of power and authority. In many species, males play a role in reproduction by producing sperm. The term 'male' is commonly used to differentiate between the two primary biological sexes, male and female.
