Definition: Ardryn has no clear meaning in English, but according to the New Testament (Colossians 3:2-4), it refers to a state or condition of oppression or subjugation. The term can be traced back to ancient times, but its exact meaning was not fully elucidated by the apostles until Paul's letter to the Romans. In this context, "andrarchy" could mean tyranny, oppressive rule, or a system that has become so oppressive that it no longer serves legitimate and beneficial conditions.
