1. A person who commits adultery. (Now the usual sense.)In earliest use the word was applied only to men, reflecting its origin as a male agent noun (see the etymology), and was sometimes opposed to adulteress n. Later it was applied (in singular or plural) to both sexes. When denoting a woman it now often replaces adulteress as a more gender-neutral term.
