Abstract

In historical lexicology, the sense development of many words is intriguing in that the same word may have widely different meanings in different contexts. Describing a variety spanning from a person's marital status to an academic position, bachelor belongs to this category. In this article I shall examine the reasons for this multiplicity of senses from an historical perspective.
