Usage notes
In the sexual sense, mistress is narrowly taken to mean a woman involved in a committed'' extramarital relationship (an affair), often supported financially (a kept woman). It is broadly taken to mean a woman involved in an extramarital relationship regardless of the level of commitment, but requires more than a single act of adultery.Tiger Woods Does Not Have 11 “Mistresses”: His many paramours aren’t committed enough to merit that term.by Jesse Sheidlower, '', Dec. 10, 2009.
