woman
woman noun 1 a woman got out of the car: lady, girl, female; matron; Scottish lass, lassie; informal chick, girlie, sister, dame, broad, gal; grrrl; literary maid, maiden, damsel; archaic wench, gentlewoman; (women ) womenfolk. 2 he found himself a new woman: girlfriend, sweetheart, partner, significant other, inamorata, lover, mistress; fiancée; wife, spouse; informal missus, better half, main squeeze, squeeze, babe, baby; dated lady friend, lady love. WORD LINKS female, feminine relating to women gynecology the branch of medicine concerned with conditions specific to women and girls misogyny hatred of women Word Links sections supply words that are related to the headword but do not normally appear in a thesaurus because they are not actual synonyms.WORD NOTE woman There's nothing like a dame. Unless it's a hot babe or a shy young maiden. Whether one regards the abundance of nouns for the human female as a sign of a phallocratic culture or an indication of woman's infinite variety (or both ), there's no denying the rude poetry of chick, broad, and minx or the provincial charm of lass, colleen, and demoiselle. A Damon Runyon might refer to a doll or a skirt, a Nabokov linger over a nymphet, C. S. Lewis address a daughter of Eve, Sir Lancelot rescue a damsel, and Falstaff call for a wench. In rap songs a woman may be reduced to her sexual parts and in romantic poetry find herself a goddess or a “belle dame sans merci. ” So many possibilities! One can suggest an entire mindset or social stratum by choosing just the right synonym. Is your companion a formidable dowager or just a nice bit of fluff?

On the other hand, it can be used acceptably by other women, in certain phrases (a girls' night out ), or of a man's girlfriend (you're my girl now, aren't you? ). ■ Lady used to be the standard polite word but is now slightly formal or dated, as in the lady at the travel agency or when used of a man's wife (the Colonel and his lady ). It can be complimentary, meaning a courteous, decorous, or genteel woman (his wife was a real lady, with such nice manners ).These notes show fine distinctions in meaning between closely related synonyms to help you find the best word.
