[edit]Etymology
[edit]In the Middle Ages, jurists introduced a learned Latin borrowing vídua to replace the inherited Old Catalan form viuva (from a Vulgar Latin *viduva). The current form viuda supposedly emerged as a compromise between the two forms.[1] The masculine form was derived from the feminine. Cf. also Spanish viuda, which may have influenced it.

Spanish
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Inherited from Old Spanish viuda, vibda, bibda, biuda, from Latin vidua, following metathesis.[1]
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.
Pronunciation
[edit]Noun
[edit]viuda f (plural viudas, masculine viudo, masculine plural viudos)
