/ˈbjudo/
widowed; dowager (in the feminine)
From Latin viduus (“widowed”), probably modeled on the feminine form viuda, which predated it. It may have been altered from an Old Spanish form vidu (itself a learned borrowing from Latin) due to influence from the feminine; a naturally inherited form would be viso, which was attested once in isolation.
widower, widow; Sixalix atropurpurea, syn. Scabiosa atropurpurea (mourning bride, mourning widow, sweet scabious)
