What is the opposite of "ingenue"?
It's also a French loan word which I saw somewhere but cannot recall now.
Thank you in advance.that word usually refers to women who are maturely sexy or foxy and knows how to attract and provoke men.
Now that I think of it, you might be thinking of "soubrette."

In repertory theatre or "stock company," there are standard acting roles:
Leading man
Leading lady
Juvenile (male)
Ingenue (female)
Character man
Character woman
Low comic
Soubrette
So perhaps the "opposite of ingenue" is "juvenile."
