EN: female leper
The female counterpart of a 'leproso'. Historically, a term for a woman with leprosy, now thankfully a rare word as the disease is treatable. It carries a heavy, old-world stigma, like something out of a historical drama.
From Spanish 'leprosa'.
A dated and potentially offensive term. Modern medical terms are preferred.
🇵🇭 Sa mga lumang nobela, ang leprosa ay madalas na itinatago sa lipunan.
🇺🇸 In old novels, the female leper was often hidden from society.
