    Since GFY is a good place to ask questions...

    My morning question: Do you think that they're called "Ex" for a reason? (in reference to ex-lovers)

    Please discuss, I'd love to use the research and discussion in a future article.

      Probably has something to do with crossing that person off with an X..

          google is a better place to ask questions

          What is the origin of ex as in ex-girlfriend?

          Ex has several meanings and uses in English. It can mean "out", "upward" or, taken a step further, "thoroughly", as in exclude, extol, and excruciate, respectively. It can also mean "bring into a certain state", as in exacerbate. Further, it can mean "to remove, expel, or relieve from [something]", as in expatriate "to remove from one's native land", where ex- means "remove" and patri- means "native land". From that sense comes the meaning you reference, that of "former". It was originally applied only to offices formerly held (the earliest example, from 1398, is ex-consul), but by the mid-19th century we find ex-beau, and by 1876 we find ex-wife.

              Most likely not, but it damn well should.

                                          I thought you asked for a reason and not an opinion.
