How Do You Spell VIRILIZE?

Pronunciation: [vˈɪɹə͡lˌa͡ɪz] (IPA)

The word "virilize" (vuh-ruh-lahyz) is spelled as such due to its roots in the Latin term "virilis," meaning "manly" or "masculine." In English, the word "virile" serves as an adjective to describe these connotations, but "virilize" refers to the process of inducing male characteristics in a person or animal through hormonal treatment. This word is commonly used in the medical field to discuss conditions such as androgen insensitivity syndrome, in which an individual assigned female at birth develops male traits due to a lack of response to androgens.

VIRILIZE Meaning and Definition

1. Virilize is a verb that refers to the process of developing or acquiring male characteristics, traits, or features typically associated with adult men. This term is commonly used in the medical field and often pertains to the abnormal development or appearance of these masculine characteristics in individuals whose biological sex is female.

   To virilize can encompass a range of physical and physiological changes, such as the growth of facial and body hair, deepening of the voice, enlargement of the clitoris, increased muscle mass and strength, and changes in body fat distribution. These changes are often the result of an excess production or exposure to androgens, which are male sex hormones that play a crucial role in the development of male reproductive organs and secondary sexual characteristics.

   In medical contexts, the term "virilize" is commonly used in reference to conditions such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia or certain types of tumors that may cause the overproduction of androgens. These conditions can lead to the masculinization of the external genitalia in female infants or the undesired development of male traits in adult women.

   Overall, virilize is a term that describes the process of exhibiting male physical features or characteristics, whether naturally occurring or induced by medical factors.
