Uxor

Uxor

Uxor can have multiple meanings.

* "Uxor" is Latin for wife, often abbreviated as ux. It's often used in the form "et uxor" or "et ux." (literally "and wife") to indicate a couple comprising the identified man and his otherwise-unidentified wife. For example, many older property deeds list the owners in the form "John Smith "et ux." In the present day, most jurisdictions would indicate both the husband and wife by name.
* Uxor is also the fictional home planet for the superhero Green Man
