It's not that they think it's a word, it's just a bad translation.

A word made up from bad Japanese translations of the word "Amazonesu." It's a combination of the word Amazon which refers to female warriors. And the suffix -ess which indicates female. So Amazoness is like saying "female Amazon" which means "female female warrior."
