dowager (in the feminine)
Where this word comes from
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.
