posameznica

Posameznica is a Slovenian noun meaning a female individual. It is the feminine form of posameznik, which denotes a male individual or person. The word designates a single female person or a female organism within a larger group or population, and it is used when gender matters or when referring to an individual rather than to a collective.

Origin and form: The term is built from the Slovenian base for “individual” plus the feminine agent suffix -nica, yielding a noun used for female instances of a person or organism.

Usage: Posameznica appears in everyday Slovenian as well as in scientific and statistical contexts, where the subject is female. In biology, ecology, demography, and sociology, it helps distinguish data or observations by sex, such as referring to female subjects or female specimens.
