nubilesOrigin of Nubile
-
From French nubile, from Latin nubilis (“marriageable"), from nÅ«bō (“marry, to take as husband"), from Proto-Indo-European *sneubho- (“to marry, to wed"). Possibly cognate with Ancient Greek νύμφη (numphÄ“, “bride, young wife, nymph") (English nymph), but this is disputed.
