minus-squareNoel_Skum@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up9·23 天前I think it would be “Doctrix” in older versions of English.
minus-squareAlcoholicorn@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·23 天前Executrix is still common when dealing with estates tho?
minus-squareNoel_Skum@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·23 天前Yeah, I only discovered the word when I read “doctoress” in a translation I was proofing and knew there was something going on there.
