Domnișoară is the feminine diminutive of domn, "lord" or "master," which comes from Latin dominus. The suffix -ișoară marks a small or young female version of the root, mirroring the masculine domnișor, "young gentleman." Over centuries the word narrowed from a term for a noblewoman's unmarried daughter to the everyday polite address for any young or unmarried woman.
