| 例句 | gender noun •variables included age, income, and gender:sex.USAGE gender, sex The word gender has been used since the fourteenth century primarily as a grammatical term, referring to the classes of noun in Latin, Greek, German, and other languages designated as masculine, feminine, or neuter. It has also been used since the fourteenth century in the sense ‘the state of being male or female,’ but this did not become a common standard use until the mid twentieth century. Although the words gender and sex both have the sense ‘the state of being male or female,’ they are typically used in slightly different ways: sex tends to refer to biological differences, and gender to cultural or social ones.Usage notes show additional guidance on finer points of English usage. |
