#structural evolution
- Amphimorphy — A property, biological state, or structural phenomenon consisting of the coexistence or succession of two different forms or morphological aspects within the same organism, organ, or mineralogical compound. This adaptive mechanism is studied within comparative morphology and crystallography.
- Andreias — A Romanian surname or masculine given name, originally used as a hypocoristic (diminutive) form for the name Andrew. In a structural and linguistic context, this name evolved from an affectionate or pet name used within the family into an independent onomastic entity, transmitted hereditarily as a representative surname for the Eastern European cultural space.
- Andriias — A rare group or Romanian surname and masculine given name, representing an archaic or regionally extended spelling variant of the name Andreiaș or Andriaș. In a structural and linguistic context, this name evolved from a hypocoristic (diminutive) form of the name Andrew through a linking vowel, historically fixing in civil status records.
- Andrisor — A Romanian surname or masculine given name, originally used as a hypocoristic (diminutive) form for the name Andrew.

- Amphitryon — A welcoming person who receives guests at their home, offering them hospitality, food, and entertainment; a generous host organizing a reception, a banquet, or a social event. In a cultural sense, the term stems from Greek mythology, where Amphitryon (the king of Thebes) became the symbol of refined hospitality through plays written by Plautus and Molière.
- Applauses — A historical graphical and morphological variant used for the plural of the neuter noun 'aplaos' or derived directly from the root of the verb 'aplauda', utilized in 19th and 20th-century texts to denote hand clappings as a form of public appreciation. This structural form has been replaced in modern academic norms by the standardized variant 'aplauze', but remains an important reference in the study of Romanian theatrical and literary lexicon evolution.
- Apterygidae — A family of running birds belonging to the order of ratites, of medium size, structurally lacking functional wings and a keeled sternum, possessing plumage similar to a coat of long hairs and a long beak equipped with nostrils at the tip; the order includes the kiwi bird as its representative type.

As a participle, it describes a linguistic element, text, or custom that has been structurally adapted according to the rules of the Aromanian dialect or culture.
- Aves — The Latin scientific name of the class of birds, comprising all warm-blooded, oviparous vertebrates characterized by a body covered in feathers, forelimbs modified into wings (mostly adapted for flight), jaws lacking teeth and covered in a horny sheath called a beak, and lightweight pneumatic bones. The class Aves includes thousands of species adapted to diverse environments, studied in detail within ornithology.
