fiancee
UK: fiˈɒnseɪ | US: ˌfiːɑːnˈseɪ
n. a woman who is engaged to be married
The word "fiancee" comes from the Old French "fiancer," meaning "to promise or trust," derived from the Latin "fidere" (to trust). The suffix "-ee" (from French "-é") denotes the person receiving the action, here referring to the woman pledged in marriage. The masculine form "fiancé" follows the same structure but lacks the extra "e," reflecting French grammatical gender conventions. The term entered English in the mid-19th century, retaining its French spelling and romantic connotations.
She introduced her fiancee at the family gathering.
The couple celebrated their engagement, with the fiancee wearing a stunning ring.
His fiancee is planning the wedding details meticulously.
As a fiancee, she received many congratulations from friends.
The fiancee and her partner will marry next spring.
