A little etymology for you

September 4, 2021 by Caffeyole aka yoliOms, posted in Healthy living

WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF CONNUBIAL?

Connubial “of marriage or wedlock” derives from Latin cōnūbiālis, from cōnūbium“wedding,” plus the adjective-forming suffix -ālis. Cōnūbium, in turn, is a compound of com-“together, with” and nūbere “to wed,” and nūbere (stem nupt-) is the source of marriage-related words such as nubile, nuptial, and prenup. Nūbere is of obscure origin, but one theory is that its original definition was “to cover oneself with a veil,” which would suggest a derivation from nūbēs “cloud.”
