Fiancee definition

Fiancee is a word which means a woman who is engaged to be married, or is betrothed, and ‘my fiancee’ must mean a woman engaged to be married to the speaker. When a man speaks of ‘my fiancee’ he is speaking of ‘the woman to whom I am engaged to be married.’ It seems to me that in ordinary parlance a contemplation of marriage is inherent in the very word ‘fiancee.’ The word ‘wife’ is a word which denotes an existing state of affairs, and one that will continue until death, or, these days, divorce: but I do not think that it could reasonably be said that there inheres in the word ‘wife’ any contemplation of, a change of that state of affairs, whether by death or divorce. ‘Fiancee’ seems to me to be quite different, in that it not only describes an existing state of affairs but also contemplates a change in that state of affairs.
