Señorito

Señorito is a Spanish term of address. It is the masculine diminutive of "señor," meaning "mister" or "sir." Historically, it was often used to refer to a young nobleman or the son of a wealthy or prominent family, implying a certain social standing or inherited privilege. The term could also be used in a more general sense to address a young man, particularly in polite or formal contexts, or by someone in a subordinate position.

Over time, the connotations of "señorito" have evolved. In some regions and social circles, it may carry a slightly condescending or even pejorative undertone, suggesting someone who is spoiled, entitled, or unaccustomed to manual labor. This usage can be linked to stereotypes of young men from privileged backgrounds who lack real-world experience. However, in other contexts, it can still be used neutrally or even affectionately to refer to a younger gentleman. The specific meaning and perceived tone of "señorito" are highly dependent on the speaker, the listener, the geographical location, and the social context in which it is used.
