Etymology
In summary
Inherited from Old Spanish viuda, vibda, bibda, biuda, from Latin vidua, following metathesis. The Spanish word may have had some later influence from the Latin in the Middle Ages; compare the strictly popular Old Spanish form viuva, which is the form also found in Portuguese and Old Catalan, deriving from a Latin *viduva.
