(et uhks) n. abbreviation for the Latin words et uxor meaning "and wife. " It is
usually found in deeds, tax assessment rolls and other documents in the form "John
Alden et ux. ," to show that the wife as well as the husband own property. The connotation
that somehow the wife is merely an adjunct to her husband, as well as the modern
concepts of joint tenancy, tenancy in common, community property where applicable
and equal rights of the sexes have combined to make the expression a chauvinistic
anachronism.
