Etymology

[edit]

From за (za, behind) +‎ муж (muž, husband), literally behind the husband. The form муж (muž) is used instead of the modern accusative case, мужа (muža), because за́муж (zámuž) fossilized well before the masculine, animate accusative case had been suppleted by the genitive.

Pronunciation
