What to call some chairs (5)

I believe the answer is:

madam

(Other definitions for madam that I've seen before include "precocious schoolgirl?" , "pompous young lady?" , "Courteous form of address to a woman" , "How one may address a woman" , "Palindrome used in speaking politely to a woman" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
