Not sure what "by ext women" is supposed to mean.
------------------------------

Editor: Grand Ricci has a similar definition for 閨:
"Appartement des femmes; gynécée. (p. ext.) Les dames; les femmes."

Which means "Ladies' apartment; women's quarters. (by extension) Ladies; women."

"ext." is short for "extension".
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ext.

p. ext. = par extension
by ext. = by extension

And "by extension" means "figuratively, metaphorically".
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/by_extension

And "fig." is short for "figurative".
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fig.
Diff:
- 閨 闺 [gui1] /small arched door/boudoir/lady's chamber/by ext. women/
# + 閨 闺 [gui1] /small arched door/boudoir; lady's chamber/
+ 閨 闺 [gui1] /small arched door/boudoir; lady's chamber/(fig.) women/
