Feminine

From Proto-Italic *uksōr which is of unknown origin. There have been attempts to connect it with either Old Armenian ամուսին (amusin) or Latvian uõsis (“father-in-law”) / Lithuanian uošvė (“mother-in-law”), but these terms have generally accepted etymologies that leave little ground for comparison with the Latin term. Ossetian ус (us, “woman”) is usually compared with Sanskrit योषा (yóṣā, “girl, young woman”) rather than with uxor.
