blonde
adjective(also blond)
In British English it is usual to spell this word blonde
when writing about a woman or girl and blond when writing about a man or boy,
although the spelling blonde is sometimes used for men and boys too. In American
English the spelling blond is often preferred for either sex. Blonde may be used to describe a woman’s hair, but it is sometimes considered offensive
to refer to a woman as ‘a blonde’ because hair colour should not define what a person is like.
