Just to add to the other definitions, the most basic definition is that a mistress is the female equivalent of master, such as the mistress of the household. However, in modern parlance, the term have taken the derogatory meaning of a woman who is in a romantic relationship with a man that is married to another woman. But the original meaning of the word is rather benign.

The true meaning of mistress is a woman who is being "kept" by a married man paying for her apartment,paying all her bills ,giving her money,buying her cars etc. A woman that just sleeps with a married man ,and he provides only himself ,not tangible commodities is either a fool or a slut or both...In olden times and in royalty its a from showing respect as in yes Mistress I will serve the tea now.......or its the name a dominated person addresses his or her owner in a DS or SD relationship.if the person is female,the male is addressed as Master..........Damn I know too much about this it seems lol
