| female fern | <botany> . A common species of fern with large decompound fronds (Asplenium Filixfaemina), growing in many countries; lady fern. The names male fern and female fern were anciently given to two common ferns; but it is now understood that neither has any sexual character. Synonym: Female, Feminine. We apply female to the sex or individual, as opposed to male; also, to the distinctive belongings of women; as, female dress, female form, female character, etc.; feminine, to things appropriate to, or affected by, women; as, feminine studies, employments, accomplishments, etc. "Female applies to sex rather than gender, and is a physiological rather than a grammatical term. Feminine applies to gender rather than sex, and is grammatical rather than physiological." Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
