Other vernacular words for effeminacy include: "pansy", "nelly", "pretty boy", "nancy boy", "girly boy", "molly", "sissy", "pussy", "tomgirl", "femboy", and "girl" (when applied to a boy or, especially, adult man). Conversely, a masculine girl or woman would be called a "tomboy", "butch", or "dyke". The word "effete" similarly means effeminacy or over-refinement, but comes from the Latin "effetus" 'having given birth; exhausted', from "ex-" and "fetus" 'offspring'. The term "tomgirl", meaning a girlish boy, comes from an inversion of "tomboy", meaning a boyish girl.
