fiancee
Future wife, promised
A fiancee is a woman engaged to be married.
The word comes from French, where the accent on the final e (fiancée) marks the feminine form.
In English, the accent is often dropped, but the distinction from fiancé (the male form) persists in careful usage: His fiancee is a doctor.
Some writers now use fiancé for both sexes.
