Maid
Maid is also a shortened form of "maiden", an archaic word for an unmarried woman or a virgin.MAID is also a backronym of Massive array of idle disksA maidservant or in current usage maid is a female employed in domestic service. Once part of an elaborate hierarchy in great houses, today the maid may be the only domestic worker that upper and even middle-income households can afford.
