Due to the erasure of femaleness and womanhood by transgender-identification ideology, it's important to remember how words originate, what they actually mean, and how they're applied in the grand sphere that is language, in relation to similar terms. How did the term 'female' arrive about, what was it based off of, and what did it (and does it) mean?
The word 'homo' means 'man,' as in, adult human male. And this relates to being male, with the term 'male' pre-established. The term female actually originated from a variation to the term homo, known as, as it was written, 'homino.' Replacing the O with an I, 'homino' is derived from utilising the term 'ino,' which means 'female variant of something.' Referring to the female sex, variations include, but are, obviously, not limited to:
filo (“son”) + -ino → filino (“daughter”)
fraŭlo (“bachelor”) + -ino → fraŭlino (“bachelorette, Miss”)
karulo (“dear”) + -ino → karulino (fem.)
knabo (“boy”) + -ino → knabino (“girl”)
koko (“chicken, rooster”) + -ino → kokino (“hen”)
For instance, to invent a word on the stop, 'patriarchino' would be a synonym for 'matriarch,' referring to a leading, controlling, female head of a family, through which descent is recognised before all else. If there is an O in the word, it is removed, followed by the 'ino.' Presumably, or out of repetition, the O at the end of a word, in the context of sexed language, indicates that something or someone is of the male biological sex.
The words 'femino' and 'virino' are, at least, partially derived from the term 'homino' (female), which, again, is derived from 'ino' (female variant of). They both refer to 'female sex.' 'Virina,' like 'virino,' also means female. While 'virino' ends with an O, it also contains 'in,' which is taken from 'ino.' 'Femina,' like 'femino,' is the same, in its structural relationship to 'virina/virino.' 'Vira' and 'viro' mean male, usually referring to 'human male.'
'Feminismo' (in English: feminism), meaning the doctrine of the abolition of female oppression from the male class, and the abolition of gender. The term 'female,' of course, originated from the terms 'femina' and 'femino,' with the term 'fe' placed in front of 'male,' in order to distinguish the sexes. The term 'male' came first, just as how 'homo' came before 'homino.'
So, yes, these terms all refer to sex. Entomologically, the word 'femininity' referred to things associated with the female sex, but not inherent to the female sex (non-biological, in its essence). It's best thought that feminists understand such terminology, as to understand the importance of such language in day to day life, with the language's relation to, for example, sexual reproduction between members of the opposite sex. The term 'sex' (as in, biological sex) was coined as a result of the sexual reproduction that occurs between members of the opposite sex. In plants, it is pollen and the ovule.
