an adulteress

Morphological NotesNominative feminine singular; appears both as a substantival adjective (AA) and as a noun (N), functioning as a feminine singular subject or predicate nominative.
Rendering RationaleThe term denotes a woman who commits adultery, derived from μοιχός (adulterer). The nominative feminine singular form is reflected by the singular rendering “an adulteress,” preserving both the gender and number indicated in the morphology and allowing it to function as the subject or predicate nominative in context.
