Etymology

Hi,

What's the etymology for the acception of "female…": is it the same that for the animal? The word doesn't seem to exist in 1765-1775 as the reference [1] says it. — Automatik (talk) 15:52, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

40

Is "over the age of 40" part of the actual meaning (i.e. what people are referring to) or an arbitrary age approximating the meaning?--Simplificationalizer (talk) 21:50, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

It's too specific; I've generalized it. - -sche (discuss) 01:29, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
