The missing letter is d. Ma'am comes from the word madam.
That is the correct spelling of the word "ma'am" It is a contraction form used in polite address. The actual word is madam.
maam
maam
I'm a women and personaly I love it when a guy says maam to me. However there are a group of women who are usualywho want to be younger and calling them maam sometime offends them because it can be a sign of old age, like they think only the old people get called maam. But for the most part when you call a women maam they think how polite and thoughtfull, so go a head and use it, you'll get more happiness then ridicule.
D. Maam has written: 'Gazar shoroo' 'Gazar Shoroo' -- subject(s): Mongols, Fiction, History
