She has no menial offices to perform, the nursery maids do these under her supervision. […] This position she keeps until the education is sufficiently advanced to transfer them to the governess.

- Will the inhabitants of Kansas, if this state be in existence be worrying at that time over who is elected governor and will the candidates be claiming the state by so small a majority as both Hodges and Capper are now?

Maybe Mesdames Smith and Jones will be quarreling over the result of their election, while their husbands fret over what they can wear at the times their spouses take charge of the highest place in the state.

For instance, if she should be elected as head of the State she would be a governor, not a governoress, nor would she be a sheriffess nor a judgess, just as in later day usage the woman physician is a doctor, not a doctoress as she used to be designated in the days when women were almost unknown to the professions; her title then was changed to fit the sex of the holder.]

- 1990 July 19, A. Ronald Reid, “Focus Should be on Issues”, in Albuquerque Journal, 110th year, number 200, Albuquerque, N.M.: Journal Publishing Co., page 4, column 3:
- The first Indian female governoress elected in the 200-year history has stimulated growth for the tribe’s future and also triggered ongoing barriers to services for the people. With the recent move by certain council members to oust the Governor one can see that factualism is a hot potato in the tribe. This embarrassing act to charge the Governoress with illegal cohabitation from the Isleta (sic) “Inquierers” has only served to highlight public issue in updating the ancient Law and Order Code that makes illicit cohabitation a tribal felony and to district off the community to have council members elected by the people to be more accountable for their actions to their constituency. It isn’t an easy task for the Governoress to live with over 200 years of paternalism, cultural taboos of the genders, nor for the community to make the transition. I applaud the Governoress in sticking to her guns while under fire from the OK Corral.
- (dated) The wife of a governor. [1820]
- 1859 January 15, “The Lounger at the Clubs”, in The Illustrated Times Weekly Newspaper, volume VIII, number 198, London: Office, […], page 42, column 1:

- 1864 November 12, W[illia]m Thomas Newmarch, Letters Written Home in the Years 1864-5: Describing Residence in Canada, and Journeys to New York, Washington and the Pennsylvanian Oil Region, and a Visit to the Army of the Potomac; […], [London?: s.n.], published 1880, page 106:
- The Professor took me to the Governor’s house, the Governor was out, presiding at some meeting or other, but the Lady-Governor or Governoress, or whatever her title may be—(I am forgetting that the American Constitution does not mention titles; however, they have crept in, especially since the breaking out of the War, かつ now Generals, Colonels, Majors, Captains, &c. are all addressed according to their rank: the Senators are all called Honourables, in the same manner as the Members of the Upper Chambers in the various English Colonies.)—trotted me over her garden and kitchen garden, wherein flowers, shrubs, fruits and vegetables abounded in luxuriance.
- 1869 March, “The Sumter and the Alabama”, in Colburn’s United Service Magazine, and Naval and Military Journal, London: Hurst and Blackett, […], pages 387–388:
- The Governor was a thin spare man, rather under the medium height, and of sprightly manners and conversation. […] As soon as I could find a little time to look around me, I discovered that her ladyship the Governoress, was a very sprightly mulatto, and that her two little children, who were brought to me with all due ceremony, to be praised, and have their heads patted, had rather kinky, or perhaps, I should say curly hair.
- 1877, D[onald] Mackenzie Wallace, “The Towns and the Mercantile Classes”, in Russia, New York, N.Y.: Henry Holt and Company, pages 177–178:
- A rich merchant of the town of T⸺ once requested the Governor of the Province to honor a family festivity with his presence, and added that he would consider it a special favor if the “Governoress” would enter an appearance. To this latter request His Excellency made many objections, and at last let the petitioner understand that Her Excellency could not possibly be present, because she had no velvet dress that could bear comparison with those of several merchants’ wives who would be present.
- 1877 November, Frank R[ichard] Stockton, “An Isle of June”, in J[osiah] G[ilbert] Holland, editor, Scribner’s Monthly, an Illustrated Magazine for the People, volume XV, number 1, New York, N.Y.: Scribner & Co., […], published 1878, page 30:
- I have never been in the habit of going about with governors’ wives to call upon queens, but on one fine Sunday afternoon, the wife of a governor—not the governor of the Bahamas—did take us to call upon a queen—not she of England, but one of undoubted royal blood. […] She did not seem to be able to talk much in English, for the governoress spoke to her in African and her majesty made a remark or two to us in that language.
- 1883 July 19, “Apache, Zuni and Ranger. The Strange Contrasts the Oldest American City Shows.”, in Markdale Standard, volume 3, number 45/149, Markdale, Ont., page [2], column 3:

- This I have heard attributed to the revolutions, and to the sweeping conscriptions the tyrant governor of a province often decrees, in order to strengthen his personal power. […] But from the watch-tower of the city did the sentinel maiden perceive the four horsemen from a far country, and she reported us to the governoress, or governess.
- 1884 March 25, The Birmingham Daily Post, volume XL, number 8,028, Birmingham, W.M., page 6, column 4:
- There will be on view to-day and to-morrow, at the Clydesdale Carriage-works, Broad Street, two very handsome dress landaus, which have been built for her Majesty the Queen of the Sandwich Islands and her Royal Highness the Governoress of Oabu.[sic – meaning Oahu] […] The carriage of the governoress is painted green, with fine vermillion lines, and hears arms (a gun-sponge かつ motto) on the doors and hammer-cloth only.

- Our new Governor’s daughter wore a simple gown of rich white satin. It is consoling to know that the new Governoress and her daughters don’t show symptoms of rushing us into unlimited extravagance in our efforts to keep pace with their millinery, and in this they earn the gratitude of every sensible woman who sees something more in daily life than a mad endeavour to outdress her neighbour.
- 1896 August 6, P. Rompter, “Wellington Wing Whispers”, in Otago Witness, number 2214, Dunedin, Otago, page 39, column 3:
- Certainly no one is a whit the worse off for spending his 5s upon the Guvmentouse performance—and look how many people are made happy thereby: first, the amateur actors (ah, their pleasure is huge!), then the Governoress (she has the reward of lending her rooms “all for charity’s sake”), then the men and dogs and things that come within the scope of the entertainment’s good threefold object.
- 1909 June 25, “Dramatic”, in Spokane Daily Chronicle, twenty-third year, number 257, Spokane, Wash., page 8, column 1:
- Ralston was out of his element in the part of the governor’s son, but his part is to be taken later on by Frank McQuarrie. The play could hardly have been written as a plea for woman suffrage, for the changing of a mother’s nature as brought out in the refusal of the governoress to pardon her boy, convicted of murder, did not convince. But the play is strong, has literary merit and dramatic effects that make it strong and convincing as a dramatic production. The governoress had a son who was dear to her.
使用する際の注意点
- This form, governoress, which seems to be first attested in 1820 (in sense 3), has never been standard in sense 1. In the obsolete form with e, governeress, used since Middle English (see governeresse), it seems to have been acceptable until the 17th century, being replaced with the contracted governess.
- In the “female governor” sense, this originally referred generally to any woman who ruled or governed. This sense is not attested with the -o- form, which specifically refers to a female chief executive officer of a first-level division of a country.
governor-ess
名詞
governor-ess (複数形 governor-esses)
- Rare form of governoress.
- A female governor.
- 1907 August 1, Porter Enterprise, volume 4, number 35, Porter, Okla., page [4], column 1:
- Frantz for governor. All the world loves a cheerful man. Frantz will control the state convention. Webbers Falls is to have a new railroad. Frantz will be nominated without opposition. This is the day the republicans name the governor. Today the corner stone of this grand new state will be laid. Governor Fratz’[sic] stenographer was governor-ess for a few days this week. Many prominent democrats are lining up for Frank Frats[sic] for governor.
- The wife of a governor.
- 1880 August 25, “The Cook Book in Politics”, in The Merrick County Item, volume 1, number 33, Central City, Neb., page [2], column 2:
- And lest our attacks should seem invidious by connecting the wives of these eminent relics with the evident motive of the governors, let us hasten to add that whereas, the names of these eminent governor-esses may have greatly increased the sale of the Buckeye Cook Book, what do our readers think when they find Gov. Stearns, of Florida, himself giving instructions in the artistic erection of orange pie, and Gov. Irwin, of Cal., dilating upon the correct method of making pumpkin pie, and lastly, Gov. Sam’l J. Tilden limping along in this august procession with a simple receipt for the manufacture of “Veal Loaf,” whatever article of vertu that may be? […] Mrs. Gov. Pillsbury in six lines lays bare the mysteries of orange cake, and in the same space Mrs. Gov. J. C. Cochran reveals the secret art of compounding lemon custard. In fact nearly every State in the Union is fairly represented through the cuisine art of either a misplaced Governor or Governor-ess.
- A female governor.
