Definition woman
Etymology
From Middle English woman, from earlier wimman, wifman; the pronunciation of the first vowel of the singular was altered under the rounding influence of the w; the plural, although sometimes also altered to /?/ in Middle English, retains the original pronunciation, though the spelling was influenced by the singular. The Middle English forms are from Old English wiman, wimman, from w?fmann m (“woman; female servant”, literally “female person”), a compound of w?f (“woman”, whence English wife) + mann (“person”, whence English man).
Cognate with Scots woman, weman. Compare Saterland Frisian Wieuwmoanske (“female person; female human”). Similar constructions can be found in Dutch vrouwmens (“wife”, literally “woman-person”), West Frisian frommes (“woman, girl”) (from frou and minske, literally "woman human"), Dutch vrouwspersoon (“woman”), German Weibsperson (“female person”), and dialectal German Fraumensch (“woman”, literally “woman human”).
A few alternative spellings (see below) respell the term so as not to contain man.
