uxor

== Interlingua == === Noun === uxor (plural uxores) wife == Latin == === Alternative forms === uxsor (Epigraphic Latin) === Etymology === From Proto-Italic *uksōr which is of unknown origin. There have been attempts to connect it with either Old Armenian ամուսին (amusin) or Latvian uõsis (“father-in-law”) / Lithuanian uošvė (“mother-in-law”), but these terms have generally accepted etymologies that leave little ground for comparison with the Latin term. Ossetian ус (us, “woman”) is usually compared with Sanskrit योषा (yóṣā, “girl, young woman”) rather than with uxor. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈʊk.sɔr] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈuk.sor] === Noun === uxor f (genitive uxōris); third declension a wife, a spouse, a consort ==== Declension ==== Third-declension noun. ==== Synonyms ==== (wife, spouse): acoetis, coniūnx, mātrōna, mulier, nūpta, proxima ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== ==== See also ==== maritus === References === “uxor”, in Charlton T.
