Etymology: < wife n. + -let suffix. Compare earlier wifekin n. at wife n.

Archive) I believe that the first occasion that I employed the term ‘wifelet’ was in response to queries from either the Daily Mail or the Daily Express, when they were pressing me to define the nature of my relationship with Tania Duckworth [in 1966]. I was resisting their suggestion that I should describe her as my fiancée, or my future wife by insisting that she was my ‘wifelet’.
