375: ex Dec 18, 2015
The
prefix 'ex-' is used to turn words denoting relationships into a former
member of a relationship. This prefix was once used exclusively for
romantic senses, but has now been used for all things former (such as
'ex-boss'). This is directly based on the Latin 'ex' meaning 'from' or
'out of', because one is out from a relationship with an ex.
