In literature, the word "miss" operates on multiple levels. As an honorific title, it frequently identifies an unmarried or addressed woman, imbuing the dialogue with a sense of formality or character nuance—as in the careful address of Miss Caroline [1], Miss Murdstone [2], and Miss Amelia [3]. It can also signal social roles and relationships, contributing to distinct characterizations in works by Austen, Dickens, and others [4], [5]. In contrast, "miss" appears as a verb to denote failure or the absence of an expected occurrence, lending a practical or even humorous tone to a narrative, as seen when a train is nearly lost by its passenger [6] or when actions are described as "hit-or-miss" [7]. This blending of formal address with everyday function enriches the text and offers layers of meaning about both personal identity and action.
