Gender - English editing.

The word gender has been used since the 14th century primarily as a grammatical term, referring to the classes of noun designated as masculine, feminine, or neuter in Latin, Greek, German, and other languages. It has also been used for just as long to refer to ‘the state of being male or female’, but this did not become a common standard use until the mid 20th century. Although the words gender and sex both mean ‘the state of being male or female’, they are typically used in slightly different ways: sex tends to refer to biological differences, while gender tends to refer to cultural or social ones.
