Homonym: Mademoiselle (Title)
"Mademoiselle" is a French term that translates to "Miss" in English. It is used to address or refer to a young, unmarried woman. Traditionally, it has been a polite form of address, similar to how "Ms." is used in English, but it specifically denotes a woman's unmarried status.
In recent years, the use of "Mademoiselle" has declined in formal contexts, as many people prefer the more neutral "Madame" for all women, regardless of marital status. This change reflects evolving attitudes towards gender and the desire for more inclusive language in society, similar to the discussions surrounding the use of Ms. in English-speaking countries.
