As used of females in respect of their deferential manner towards men. Something like demure or serving, as opposed to servile.

Can't find spelling in the dictionary. Thank you.

Could it be อดนม, which means "wean".

อด abstain, avoid, refrain, to starve.

นม breast; milk.

I agree, "wean" would be the best word in English.

taxexile is right, 'oht norm' is อ่อนน้อม means polite, modest, humble, describes character of people in all ages, genders, not only women to men.

คุณลุงคนนี้เป็นคนอ่อมน้อมถึงแม้ว่าเขาจะมีฐานะดีมาก

This old man is humble even though he is very wealthy.

Not only the woman can "awn nawm" to her husband but also means...the students humble to the teacher, the staff humble to the boss, the younger sister or younger brother humble to older brother or older sister. ...the main point for thai culture...if you are 'awn nawm " and "jing jai"(sincere) the percentage to be unemployee or not succeed about anything in you life is....Low

In this case you could translate อ่อน as 'to be submissive' and นอ้ม means 'to bow, to bend'
