Best Answer

The Latin word for "a female" is femina. This word can be used by itself as a synonym for mulier, "woman", or in apposition to another noun, as in bos femina, "cow" ("female cattle").

The adjective muliebris means "female" in the sense of "suitable to a woman, feminine, womanly".

Ancilla is a female slave.
