"Lady"

The term "Lady" is a respectful title used to address or refer to a woman, often signifying politeness, courtesy, or social status. Historically, it denoted women of high rank or nobility but is now commonly used more broadly to convey respect, regardless of a woman's social position. The word can also imply qualities associated with femininity, such as grace or elegance. In various contexts, "Lady" serves as a polite form of address, similar to "Mrs." or "Ms.," and is used both formally and informally to acknowledge a woman's dignity and social importance.
