  • Miss is a word for a woman that has not been married.
  • Mrs. is an abbreviation of the word Mistress, used as a title for a woman that is married or widowed.
  • Ms. is a title used for a woman whose marital status is unknown or irrelevant (as in business). The letters Ms. are not an abbreviation of a word, they are an amalgamation drawn from the letters of Miss and Mrs.

Ms. originated in the United States and was popularized in the 1970s. It is now the default form of address for business correspondence with a woman.
