Explanation

'Duchess' is a female noble of the highest rank below a queen, and its masculine gender equivalent is 'Duke.' This is a direct gender pair in the nobility system. 'Lord' and 'Aristocrat' are related to nobility but are not the direct masculine counterpart. 'Noble' is a general term that applies to both genders. The duke/duchess pair specifically denotes the highest hereditary title in the peerage system.
