uxorious (adj.)

"关于妻子的"，1778年，源自拉丁语 uxoris（参见 uxorious）+ -al（1）。有时被用于 uxorius 的意义。

We still say that a husband hangs out the broom when his wife goes from home for a short time; and on such occasions a broom besom has been exhibited as a signal that the house was freed from uxorial restraint, and where the master might be considered as a temporary bachelor. [Samuel Johnson and George Steevens, notes to "The Tempest," 1778]

我们仍然说，当妻子短暂离家时，丈夫 hangs out the broom; 在这种情况下，一把 broom 扫帚被展示为一个信号，表明房子已经摆脱了妻子的约束，主人可以被视为临时单身汉。[塞缪尔·约翰逊和乔治·斯蒂文斯，《暴风雨》注释，1778年]

1804年，“谋杀妻子”； 1830年，“杀妻者”； 源自法语 uxoricide，或者是拉丁语 uxor “妻子”（参见 uxorious）和 -cide “杀死/杀手”的本土构词法。相关词汇： Uxoricidal。
