Etymology

From Middle English female, an alteration of Middle English femelle, from Old French femele, femelle (“female”), from Medieval Latin f?mella (“a female”), from Latin f?mella (“a girl, a young female, a young woman”), diminutive of f?mina (“a woman”). The English spelling and pronunciation were remodelled under the influence of male, which is otherwise not etymologically related. Contrast woman, which is etymologically built on man (as in person).

• Rhymes: -i?me?l

     Twice in her thirty-year career she held office in the blacksmiths' guild. Ms. [Fya] upper Bach was no fluke, either: legal and guild records from medieval Germany list other female blacksmiths, coppersmiths, tinsmiths, and pewterers. Some of these redoubtable women gained entry into the guild through "widow's rights"; others, however, made it on sheer mettle and muscle.
