"uxorious" does mean "wifely". I don't know the Greek (Latin?) root.

Actually, "excessive fondness towards one's wife"

Apparently an accepted abbreviation for the Latin uxor, meaning "wife".

thanks, to you both.

Bradford's Dictionary and Chambers give "ux(or)" for wife.

I have now added Chambers to my pc faves thanks again

6a....Prepared venison, say.....GAME ? Not sure of the parsing here ?

21d....Novel, though not translated into Italian ....R?M?N ....ROMAN ?

7d....Twelve days succeeding one in spring month month
MIDDAY ?

6 If you are "game" to do something, you are prepared to do it
21 ROMAN is Italian, and also French for a "novel", so not translated
7d I DD (days) in MAY (month), 12 is MIDDAY

7d: yes, midday = twelve (def)
i - one
dd - days
May - spring month

Thanks !
