seño

Etymology 1
or.

Noun

 * 1)  Ms.
 * 2)  Miss, Ma'am
 * 1)  Miss, Ma'am

Usage notes

 * This form has grown somewhat in use, because it avoids conflict about the difference between and, which imply marital status and are traditionally associated with virginity. For young single ladies, being called  implies they are no longer virgins (and is therefore offensive), and for married women of a certain age, being called  implies being a spinster, not suitable for getting a husband (which is also offensive).
 * For girls younger than the indicated age, usually the term is used.
