Question

Choose the feminine form of the given masculine noun:
Fiancé

a) Wife
b) Fiancite
c) Fiancess
d) Fiancée

Answer 1

Hint: Fiancé is the term given to a man to whom a woman is engaged to be married. Also, feminine gender nouns are used to indicate women, girls, and female animals.

Complete answer:

The origin of the word fiance comes from the mid-19th century, from French, past participle of ‘fiancer’ which means 'betroth’.
Option a ‘Wife’ is the term given to a woman who is married to someone. The feminine form of Fiancé is not a wife. The wife is the feminine form of the masculine noun ‘Husband’. So, this option is incorrect.
Option b ‘Fiancite’ is not a word in the English Language. It does not exist. So, this option is an incorrect option.
Option c ‘Fiancess’ does not exist in the English Language. So, this is the incorrect option.
Option d ‘Fiancée’ is the feminine form of the masculine noun ‘Fiancé’. ‘Fiancée’ is the term given to the woman who is engaged to be married.
So, the correct answer is “Option d”.

Note: Do not get confused between ‘Wife’ and ‘fiancee’, as Option, a ‘Wife’ means a woman who is already married and the option d ‘Fiancée’ is a woman who is about to get married.
