A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Vir (veer) is a Latin word that means an adult male or a man. It can also mean a husband. In English law, it is often used to refer to a husband in phrases like "vir et uxor" (husband and wife).

• "He is a vir who takes care of his family."
• "The vir and uxor were married for 50 years."

The first example uses "vir" to mean an adult male or a man. The second example uses "vir" in the Latin phrase "vir et uxor" to mean a husband.
