Ancient Greek

ἀ- (a-) +‎ γάμος (gámos)

ἄγᾰμος • (ágămos) m or f (neuter ἄγᾰμον); second declension

In Classical Greek, ἄγαμος is used for males only. ἄνανδρος (ánandros) is the term used for females. In later Greek, however, ἄγαμος is also found applied to women, as in the New Testament (Corinthians I, 7:11).
