ウィドー

noun

widow

A woman whose spouse has died and who has not remarried. This is a direct loanword from English, used in contexts such as fashion, social status, or legal terminology. The native Japanese term is 未亡人 (みぼうじん), which is more formal and traditional.

• 彼かの女じょは若わかくしてウィドーになった。

  She became a widow at a young age.

• その雑ざっ誌しにはウィドー向むけのファッション特とく集しゅうがあった。

  The magazine had a fashion feature for widows.
