Перевод: procuress

[существительное]
сводница ; сводня

Тезаурус:

1. LADY DAVERS: O, the procuress.
2. Margery, in her swift change of attitude abandoning her loyalty to her absent husband in favour of a sexual liaison with Wilekin, is a parallel to the woman in Cele qui se fist foutre sur la fosse de son mari; and as an elderly procuress, operating through feigning grief and gaining sympathy, Dame Sirith finds a parallel in Auberee, la vieille maquerel, the old bawd, in the fabliau of the same name.
3. Queen Maria Luisa, wife of Charles IV, an unlovely, clever, deceitful and immensely powerful woman, is metamorphosed into a barn-owl, a lechuza , a word which in Spanish also means an ugly hag or a procuress.
4. But one cannot overlook the point that all other known medieval European versions of this tale, written in or translated from Latin prose, present it as a moral example; it can be allegorized, with the housewife as the Christian soul, the absent husband Christ, the lover worldly vanity, the procuress the Devil.
