benedict

A person who is a confirmed bachelor or who is reluctant to marry.
Danh từ
Số nhiều: benedicts

This term carries a specific literary and historical flavor, often evoking a sense of stubbornness or a principled commitment to singleness. It is less common in modern casual conversation and is typically found in formal writing or character sketches to describe a man who views marriage as a restriction of his personal freedom.

Because it is derived from the character Benedict in the play The Way of the World, the word often implies a certain level of sophistication or a specific social archetype of the bachelor who may claim to despise marriage while remaining a subject of romantic curiosity.
