Word History

The forerunner of the word lady in Old English was hlfdige, meaning the female head of a household, or a woman to whom homage or obedience was due, such as the wife of a lord or, specifically, the Virgin Mary. The word came from hlaf 'loaf' and a Germanic base meaning 'knead' which is related to dough and dairy; thus a lady was a 'loaf kneader'. The word lord developed in a similar way; in Old English it literally meant 'bread keeper'.

Lady

The word lady is a term for a girl or woman, with various connotations. Once used to describe only women of a high social class or status, the equivalent of lord, now it may refer to any adult woman, as gentleman can be used for men. Informal use is sometimes euphemistic ("lady of the night" for prostitute) or, in American slang, condescending in direct address (equivalent to "mister" or "man").

"Lady" is also a formal title in the United Kingdom. "Lady" is used before the family name of a woman with a title of nobility or honorary title suo jure (in her own right), or the wife of a lord, a baronet, Scottish feudal baron, laird, or a knight, and also before the first name of the daughter of a duke, marquess, or earl.
