Best Answer

Male is one possessing an X and a Y chromosome. It is derived from Middle English where it entered into the lexicon in the 1300's from the Middle French, ma(s) meaning male, a diminutive form of Latin masculinus (the English version being masculine).

Female is one possessing a double X chromosome. It is derived from Middle English as associated with male, coming from Old French, femel, from Latin femella, a diminutive form of femina.
