bachelorette

A term describing an unmarried woman, usually used to describe an affianced woman having a night on the town with her friends soon before her wedding.

Also used by single women who find the term "spinster" too old-fashioned and "prude" inapplicable.

The bachelorette and her friends thoroughly enjoyed the Chippendales show.

It will be a long time before the word "bachelorette" gains the acceptance enjoyed by the word "bachelor".
