Mrs. is actually an abbreviation for the word - TopicsExpress



          

Mrs. is actually an abbreviation for the word mistress. Mistress is the feminine form of mister, which originally meant master. Over the years people garbled the name for the married female, and the word mistress took on the meaning of an illicit lover, something far different than its original connotation. Therefore, married women ceased to spell out the full word, leaving Mrs. as the far more respectable abbreviation!
