Girl
A girl is a
female child, as opposed to a
boy, a
male child. The age at which a female person transitions from girl to
woman varies in different
societies; typically the transition from adolescence to maturity is taken to occur in the late
teens. The English word (first documented in 1290) originally designated a child of either gender. To designate between the two genders, a female child was called a gay girl, while a male child was called a knave girl. During the 14th century its sense was narrowed to specifically female children. Subsequently, it was extended to refer also to mature but unmarried young women since the 1530s. Usage in the sense of (romantic) "sweetheart" arose in the 17th century.
