- Andronicus — A masculine Latin graphic base form (historically spelled Andronicus) for the Greek name Andronikos (victorious man). In a historical, administrative, and literary context, the name is famous through prominent Roman and Byzantine figures (such as Livius Andronicus, the founder of Latin dramatic literature), serving as a structural pillar in the evolution of European onomastics.
- Androsterone — A rare feminine terminological variant or archaic spelling previously used in Romanian medical literature to designate the male steroid hormone androsterone. This term has been structurally replaced in modern scientific nomenclature by the standardized masculine form.
- Anglist (feminine) — A woman specialized in Anglistics, a graduate or well-defined researcher in the field of English philology; as an adjective, it represents the feminine form of the adjective 'anglist', describing qualities, approaches, or analytical methods proper to the study of the English language and literature.
- Archaic stallion — An archaic form or old onomastic variant of the word 'armăsar' (stallion), frequently encountered in medieval documents, princely charters, and chronicles of the Romanian Principalities. Besides the main meaning of a breeding horse, in ancient court administrative structures, the term could indicate a function or responsibility related to the guarding, care, and registry of the ruler's or high boyars' warhorses.
- Asian studies — An academic branch of the humanities that deals with the interdisciplinary, complex, and structural study of the languages, literature, history, religions, and cultures of the peoples of the Asian continent. This research field integrates delicate philological, archaeological, and sociological methods to analyze the evolution of great Eastern civilizations and their impact on global cultural dynamics.
- Avestan — The feminine gender form for the adjective 'avestic'; it directly denotes the Avestan language (as a feminine noun), the Eastern Iranian idiom used in antiquity for drafting the Zoroastrian scriptures. As an adjective, it qualifies a writing, doctrine, historical stage, or a cultural and phonetic feature closely linked to the early Persian civilization and the texts included in the Avesta.
