Madam, or madame, is a polite form of address for women, often contracted to "ma'am". The abbreviation is "Mme." and the plural is mesdames (abbreviated Mmes.) The term was borrowed from the French madame (French pronunciation: [ma'dam]), which means "my lady".
Madam also refers to a woman (often past her prime) who owns or manages a brothel but usually does not prostitute herself.
