Damsel
a diminutive of kore, “a girl,” denotes “a little girl” (properly a colloquial word, often used disparagingly, but not so in later writers); in the NT it is used only in familiar conversation, Mat 9:24-25 (AV, “maid”); Mat 14:11; Mar 5:41-42; Mar 6:22, Mar 6:28.
a diminutive of pais, denotes “a young child (male or female)” in the AV of Mar 5:39-41 (1st line); the RV corrects “damsel” to “child,” so as to distinguish between the narrative of facts, and the homely address to the little girl herself, in which, and in the following sentence, korasion is used. (See No. 1). See CHILD.
denotes “a young girl, or a female slave;” “damsel,” AV, in Joh 18:17; Act 12:13; Act 16:16; RV “maid” in each case. See BONDMAID, BONDWOMAN, MAID, MAIDEN.

Damsel
Rth 2:5-6 (c) This girl may be taken as a sample or a type of the member of your church. As Boaz expected his farm manager to know who the girl was, so probably GOD expects the pastor, or the Sunday School teacher to know who each person is who is laboring and serving in his fellowship.
