Lemma: παντρεμένος
Translation: married; wed (adjective)
Etymology: Derived from the Ancient Greek 'πανδρεύω' (pandreúō), meaning 'to give in marriage.' The root 'πανδρ-' comes from 'πᾶς' (all) + 'ἀνήρ' (man), originally referring to the union with a husband. The modern form evolved through medieval Greek, showing the characteristic τρ development from δρ.
Mnemonics
- Think of 'partner' + 'men' to remember παντρεμένος refers to being married (though it applies to both genders)
- The 'παντ-' beginning sounds like 'pant' in 'partner'
