Executrix

2025年07月29日 | 英単語
John Grishamの小説 "Camino Winds" を読んでいます。
Chapter Four The Executrix
章のタイトルにある " Executrix" はこの章の中で次の様に出てきました。

In a low voice, Bruce said, "So, you're the executor of Nelson's estate."
"I am. He made a new will last year and name me as executor, or executrix, to be more precise. The gender thing."

"executrix" は遺書、遺言の執行人の意味ですね。辞書の説明で確認します。

・Collins Dictionary: a female executor; Gender-neutral form: executor: She was the great love of his life and ultimately his literary executrix.

・Merriam-Webster: a woman who is an executor: Barbara Held of Wallingford brought the lawsuit as executrix of the estate of Jeffrey Held.
・Dictionary.com: a woman named in a decedent's will to carry out the provisions of that will.: You must be appointed by a judge as the executor, executrix, administrator or whatever the appropriate title is.
女性の遺言執行人でした。
