Definition of undefined

The word "princess" has its roots in Old French, derived from the Latin "principessa," meaning "highest ruler" or "first lady." In the 12th century, the term referred to the wife or daughter of a king or prince. Over time, the title evolved to encompass not just royal women but also those of noble birth or high social standing. In English, the word "princess" was first recorded in the 14th century and initially referred to a daughter of a monarch or a female member of the royal family. As literature and folklore developed, the concept of a princess as a mythical or fictional figure emerged, often depicted as a beautiful, kind, and courageous young woman waiting to be rescued by a prince. Today, the term "princess" is used to describe both real-life royal ladies and the fantasy figure in popular culture.
