ex-wife
(a) Prefixed to titles of office or dignity, to form designations for persons who have formerly held the position in question. In more restricted sense these compounds denote the immediate predecessor (when still living) of the present holder of the position. After the analogy of these words, ex- is prefixed indiscriminately, with the sense expressed by ‘former’, ‘sometime’, ‘quondam’, to nouns designating persons with respect to their calling, station, character, or the like, as ex-wife.
ΘΚΠ
society > society and the community > kinship or relationship > marriage or wedlock > divorce or dissolution > [noun] > divorced person > woman
