ESPOUSE, v.t. espouz'. [L. spondeo, sponsus, the letter n, in the latter, must be casual, or the modern languages have lost the letter. The former is most probable; in which case, spondeo was primarily spodeo, sposus.] 1. To betroth.When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph. Matt.1. 2. To betroth; to promise or engage in marriage, by contract in writing, or by some pledge; as, the king espoused his daughter to a foreign prince. Usually and properly followed by to, rather than with. 3. To marry; to wed.4. To unite intimately or indissolubly.I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 2 Cor.11.5.
