Administrator vs administratrix

Books are one of the best sources of clearing people's doubts.





Administrator is a person who administers and is in the masculine gender. Its feminine equivalent is administratrix.

However, I have seen the following headline to a news item in a popular national English daily.

Judge removes MJ's mother as administrator of estate.

Such headline should have been Judge removes MJ's mother as administratrix of estate to use the correct gender of the word/noun.

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.
