Mondemoiseau is an archaic term historically used for a gentleman that had not yet reached the status of chevalier,
was used in a similar fashion as the modern mademoiselle;
The term has not been in common use since the 17th century, but it can be found in works of classic French literature, such as Molière's L'avare.
