From Middle English spinnen
With a –ster denoting women
Women working to spin, ordinary
During the seventeenth century
Soon, a term beyond the lowly
For unmarried woman of society
Later, by the eighteenth century
Added on a meaning derogatory
For a woman, fussy and prim
Past marrying age, old and grim
Again, so very clever and original. Love it.
Be there. There is more coming on word origins!
🙂 Look forward to it!
