† removed woman n. Obsolete (in Biblical use or in allusion to this) a menstruating woman, with reference to the segregation of a woman during her menstrual period (see Leviticus 15:19-33). [After Hellenistic Greek ἀποκαθημένη menstruating woman (Septuagint: Leviticus 15:33, etc.; lit. ‘woman who sits apart’), use as noun of feminine present participle of ancient Greek ἀποκάθησθαι to sit apart ( < ἀπό- apo- prefix + καθῆσθαι to sit, reside, be placed < κατα- kata- prefix + ἧσθαι to sit: see asana n.), used to render biblical Hebrew niddāh impurity, (specifically) menstruation, in post-biblical Hebrew also menstruating woman (either < niddāh ‘to banish, excommunicate’, or < nadād ‘to flee, to retreat, to depart’, in both cases with reference to the segregation of a menstruating woman during her period).]
