Mrs (abbreviation for Mistress) is a title used for women, typically in formal or historical contexts, or as the wife of a man. In modern use, it is a conventional address and surname prefix in English. The spoken form is a very short, unstressed syllable cluster that blends /ˈmɹs/ or /ˈmɪsɪz/ in rapid speech, often reduced to a near-syllabic schwa-less sound like /ˈmɹs/ when preceding names.
