It's a Latin word word with the basic meaning of "out". I've always taken it to mean that you are cut out (or excised) from your ex's life.

It's Latin. 'Ex' is a prefix saying about a person or a thing that has finished an activity, use, work, duty. Many words also in English start with 'ex', sometime modify in 'ecs', 'es', 'e' or totally eliminated. Often you can easily recognize the prefix and the following word as two distinct terms. But you can also find many words starting with 'ex' that is a contraction of 'extra'.

She's no longer putting HIM first, she's putting her toddlers first it incredibly is precisely what she would desire to be doing. yet, in spite of this, i'm uncertain why you're able to desire to leave...that looks strange except she feels it may be unsettling for her toddlers. She needs to tell her ex that she has a existence and he can no longer save infringing on it only because of the fact he won't very own a greater suited automobile. If he needs to have dinner with the youngsters permit him yet she ought to drop them off to him someplace. however the secret's in all risk her only wanting issues to be the least frightening for the youngsters....which makes her a marvelous mom...you will desire to appreciate that approximately her.

I know it is from the Latin, but I like to think it is from 'expiry' as in 'passed his expiry date'
