女: Woman.
房: House.
女房(にょうぼう): Wife.
In ancient times, this word referred to high-ranking female officials in the palace.
Then it gradually extended the meaning of wife. However, it is better not to use this word in real life because it is not often used.
Generally, the other's wife is called "奥様(おくさま)," and "my wife" is called "妻(つま)."
The same as:
夫 my husband
ご主人 your husband
