senorita

Meanings

1. 1
   noun

   a Spanish or Spanish-speaking girl or unmarried young woman, especially when addressed or referred to with the title equivalent to Miss

   The senorita introduced herself to the travelers and invited them into the farmhouse.

Borrowed from Spanish señorita, the diminutive of señora, 'lady or Mrs.,' which is the feminine of señor, 'lord, gentleman, or Mr.' English commonly writes both senorita and señorita; the unaccented spelling avoids the Spanish letter ñ while preserving the same word.
