Girlfriend
The word girlfriend is a contraction of the phrase girl friend, indicating a female friend. The first evidence of its use as a noun dates back to the mid-18th century, though other linguistic evidence suggests its origin dates back to the 14th century. It is one of many words that has shifted from the root friend to refer to a member of the opposite sex, such as boyfriend. It is a unique example of a compound noun that has two parts and retains its original meaning, making it a distinct phenomenon in the English language. Morphologically, it consists of two distinct words, with the main word girl acting as a modifier to friend. This is further exemplified with other nouns derived from the root friend such as friendship, friendly, and friendless. Pragmatically, the term reflects both the intimacy and the distance of a relationship, making it a useful tool to describe relationships without the need for further context.
