The Cyclopedic Law Dictionary
A woman who practices unlawful commerce with men, particularly one that does so for hire; a prostitute. While a woman may acquire that character without being generally accessible to men, as where she is the mistress of one man, yet the term implies the idea that the offenses against chastity on the part of the person to whom it is applied are public and notorious, and it is not proper to apply it to a woman who has yielded only to her affianced.
