Gender is a set of two or more grammatical categories (masculine, feminine, neuter and common) into which the nouns and pronouns of certain languages are divided distinguished by the modification which they require in words syntactically associated with them, and roughly corresponding (though by no means always) to the sex of the objects which they denote. Gender may be exhibited by a class of words marked by similarity in termination, the termination having attached to it a distinction in sex, as seen in nouns, adjectives, participles, etc. When referring to living organisms, the term 'sex' is correct for describing male or female, not 'gender'.
