feminine

When used as an adjective to describe people or style, "feminine" refers to traditional social expectations of how women look or behave. Because these ideas change over time and across different cultures, the word is often subjective. In grammar, "feminine" is a technical term used for languages like Spanish or French. In this context, it does not necessarily mean the object is 'womanly', but simply that it belongs to a specific grammatical category.
