A man who is womanish in his habits

Options:

Effeminate

Indictment

Hooch

Infidel

Correct Answer:

Effeminate

Explanation:

The most appropriate one-word substitution for a man who is womanish in his habits is effeminate.

  • Effeminate means having or showing qualities or characteristics more often associated with females than males.
  • Indictment is a formal accusation of a crime.
  • Hooch is a cheap, illegal alcoholic drink.
  • Infidel is a person who does not believe in a particular religion.

The word effeminate is derived from the Latin word effeminatus, meaning "made weak or womanish". It is a word that has been used to describe men who exhibit feminine qualities, such as a soft voice or a gentle demeanor. In some cases, the word can be used in a derogatory way, but it can also be used simply to describe someone who is not traditionally masculine.
