Gender
A set of grammatical categories, or the membership of a word or form in such a grammatical category, applied to masculine, feminine, neuter, or common nouns, represented by the form of the noun itself or the choice of words that modify, replace, or refer to it. The referent may or may not be correlated with sex, animateness, or any other characteristic. Specificity is used as grammatical delimiter, and not as designator of sexuality; derived from "kind, sort, or class" (genus). See syntax, grammar, parts of speech, censorship.
