- 1婚禮的、婚姻的（書面、正式）
Nuptial is a formal adjective meaning “about a wedding” or “about getting married.” You meet it in nuptial Mass, nuptial blessing, nuptial agreement, nuptial vows — church, law, and rather elevated writing. Ordinary people say wedding or marriage instead: wedding dress, not nuptial dress, unless someone is being fancy or funny. also use nuptial in a dry, technical way (nuptial plumage, nuptial gift) for the colours or presents animals use when they pair. So the word is not slang, and it is not the everyday word for “married life”; it points at the ceremony or the pairing, in a dressed-up or scientific voice.
組成Borrowed from Latin nūptiālis, “pertaining to marriage,” from nūptiae, “wedding,” from nūbō, “to marry, to take as husband.”
