- 1婚姻的（marital status：婚姻狀況）
Marital means relating to marriage — the life two people have as spouses, not the wedding party itself. Marital status is the form-filling use: single, married, divorced. Marital problems, the marital home, marital rights are the heavier uses. It is a somewhat formal, paper-and-news word; in casual talk people just say “their marriage” or “married life.” The Latin started from “husband,” but though actually English marital is not “husband-only”: it covers the marriage as a whole. It has nothing to do with war. That is martial, a different word that only looks similar.
From the word’s history
From Middle French marital and Latin marītālis, from marītus 'husband'.
借自法文和拉丁文 marītālis，來自 marītus「丈夫」。
組成From Latin marītālis, from marītus (“husband”), through Middle French marital.
