- Businesswoman — A woman engaged in financial, commercial, or entrepreneurial activities; a businesswoman. Similar to its masculine counterpart, the word exhibits a pronounced semantic duality in current usage, denoting either a legitimate, dynamic female entrepreneur or, in a derogatory sense, a female speculator who achieves profits through dubious or unethical schemes.
- Agiotagiu — A person who practices agiotage; a stock speculator who profits from the rate fluctuations of public securities, shares, or currencies to enrich themselves quickly. In a structural and social sense, the term bears a pejorative connotation, denoting an unscrupulous financial intermediary who uses insider information or false rumors to manipulate the market.
- Agiotor — A person who practices stock speculation or agiotage; a financial operator or speculator who aims to secure fast and substantial profits by exclusively exploiting the fluctuations in share, bond, or currency rates.
