About This Word
What does conjugal mean.
Conjugal means relating to marriage, but it is perhaps best known for its use in conjugal visit , in a which prisoner is allowed to visit privately with their spouse for the purpose of having sexual relations.
Otherwise, conjugal is often used in legal or religious contexts in discussions about particular aspects of marriage.
Example: Gary and Sam got married in 1990 and have been living in conjugal bliss ever since.
Where does conjugal come from?
The first records of conjugal come from the 1500s. It comes from the Latin conjugālis , from conjunx , meaning “wife” or “husband.” Conjunx comes from the Latin verb conjungere, meaning “to unite.”
Conjugal is generally used to describe any situation related to married people. For example, it is used in the phrase conjugal family , meaning “a family composed of married parents and their children” (the term is synonymous with nuclear family ). It is used in some phrases in much the same way as the word marital would be, such as conjugal bliss and conjugal vows.
The conjugal in conjugal visit still refers to marriage— conjugal visits are typically reserved for married partners. However, due to the meaning of the term, conjugal has become associated with sex, such as in phrases like conjugal relations.
