To marry or unite in marriage; to join together as spouses.
From Latin 'connubiatus,' past participle of 'connubiare' (to marry), derived from 'connubium' (marriage). The verb form is rarer than its adjective cousin but carries the same dignified meaning.
Connubiate is so archaic that using it seriously would make most people laugh—it's the kind of ceremonial verb you'd see in Shakespearean parodies. Yet it perfectly captures what marriage meant: a formal, witnessed union.
