Gynoid (from Greek γυνη, gynē - woman) is a term used to describe a robot designed to look like a human female, as compared to an android modeled after a male. The term is not common, however, with android often being used to refer to both "genders" of robot. The portmanteaus fembot (female robot) and feminoid (female android) have also been used; the latter sparingly. Gynoid was first used in the writings of British science fiction author Gwyneth Jones and later by Richard Calder.
