"excessively fond of or submissive to one's wife," 1598, from L. uxorius "of or pertaining to a wife," from uxor (gen. uxoris) "wife," of unknown origin. Uxorial, "relating to a wife or wives," is recorded from 1800 and sometimes is used in the sense of uxorius; uxoricide, "the murder of one's wife," is recorded from 1854.
