I believe it means chief or boss
Maitre means host. You might have heard of a maitre d', the full form of which is maitre d'hotel or something like that. It literally means host of the hotel
The spelling is maitre d' (with the hanging apostrophe) from the French maître d'hotel.
Maitre (masc.) or maitresse (fem.) - they are teachers in primary schools.

You can say "Bonjour Maître" in French to greet someone as "Hello Master."
maitre with an accent circomflex (or the little hat) on the i.
Mansion.
In English, the term maitre d' (restaurant floor manager) has the regular plural maitre d's.The French is "des maîtres d'hôtel" (no plural mark for 'hôtel')
it is not a French word
if you mean the english word OR then it's ouif you mean the french word OR then it means gold
It appears that even the French don't have a term for it; if you search it up, you will find references to "femme maitre d'" just as you find references to "female maitre d'." So the answer appears to be, simply, "female maitre d'," a term which certainly would upset NOW. If we make no gender distinction with "flight attendant," why make a gender distinction with maitre d'? By now, most English speakers don't even realize that maitre d' is male. Therefore, my suggestion is to call a female maitre d' simply a maitre d' and be done with it.
