It comes from the Latin "concubina" (fem.), from concumbere, "to lie down with", from com- "with" + cubare "to lie down". Recognized by law among polygamous peoples as a "secondary wife". This term has also been used to describe the women that wealthy men in historical Asian countries would own, whom were called "Geishas".
