noun
informalarchaic
A woman regarded, often disapprovingly, as bold, flirtatious or of loose morals.
Hussy began centuries ago as a plain word for a housewife before drifting into a term of scolding aimed at women judged too forward or improperly behaved. Today it survives mostly in old-fashioned scolding, in period fiction, or used half-jokingly rather than as a serious insult.
