máginoó (Baybayin spelling ᜋᜄᜒᜈᜓᜂ)

1. gentleman

   Synonym: ginoo

2. (historical) the ruling class or nobility in ancient Tagalog society

• According to Fr. Juan de Noceda and Fr. Pedro del San Lucar who compiled the Vocabulario de la lengua tagala in 1754, maginoo referred to a gentleman of rank or lord. On the other hand, ginoo referred to a lady of rank, noblewoman, or lady.
• However, in practice before in archaic Manila, any noble person (male or female) could be called as a maginoo, with gender specified as maginoong lalaki and maginoong babayi. The distinction was not common in all areas.
• In contemporary usage, both maginoo and ginoo exclusively refer to men.
