WHAT DOES KEPT WOMAN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

kept woman

Mistress (lover)

A mistress is a long-term female lover and companion who is not married to her partner especially when her partner is married. The relationship generally is stable and at least semi-permanent; however, the couple does not live together openly. Also the relationship is usually, but not always, secret. There is an implication that a mistress may be "kept"—i.e., that the lover is paying for some of the woman's living expenses. The word mistress was originally used as a neutral counterpart to mister or master.
