Word Pairings

[edit]

antemarital, antenuptial, and prenuptial mean premarital. But to me, only one of these four words is used in the phrasing 'premarital sex'. There are instances of the other words used in that way, but the culturally meaningful communication method is 'premarital sex', not 'antenuptial sex', etc. Would that be a usage note? What kind of usage notes or qualifiers could be made/used for these words? --Geographyinitiative (talk) 21:31, 24 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
