mrs meaning woman


Mrs. is a title in English used specifically for a married woman. It derives from the older word "mistress," which originally meant a woman of authority or a female head of a household, but over time, it evolved to primarily indicate marital status. In contrast, it does not simply mean "woman" in general, as other titles like "Miss" (for an unmarried woman) and "Ms." (neutral regarding marital status) exist. This title is part of English conventions for addressing women based on social and marital norms.
