About
The word 妓女 is formed by combining two characters: 妓, which historically conveyed a meaning related to professional skill or performance (often in arts or music), and 女, meaning "woman". Over time, the term evolved from broadly indicating a skilled female performer or entertainer to specifically denoting a woman who engages in sexual transactions, reflecting a societal narrowing of the concept where such roles became exclusively associated with prostitution.
