Asked on December 20, 2021 in Word choice.
Since uxorism is based on the Latin uxor for wife, an exact male equivalent would seem to be required to be based on the Latin for husband. When your husband is a marriage he will probably marry into their lives, in the Latin which means spouse. If there is no wife, what is the most logical choice? Vir is the Latin word for man therefore viricide is the killing of any man and not just a husband. The Catholic Church uses the word conjuicide (Or conjuicide) for killing of a husband or wife for the purpose of marrying the surviving spouse. What is as in coniugalis-conjugalis meaning conjugal or relating to marriage? Why does English use j? “Lose
Roots, please!”
