Concubine \Con"cu*bine\, n. [F., fr. L. concubina; con- + cubare
to lie down, concumbere to lie together, akin to E. cubit.]
1. A woman who cohabits with a man without being his wife; a
paramour.
Note: Concubine has been sometimes, but rarely, used of a
male paramour as well as of a female. --Trench.
2. A wife of inferior condition; a lawful wife, but not
united to the man by the usual ceremonies, and of inferior
condition. Such were Hagar and Keturah, the concubines of
Abraham; and such concubines were allowed by the Roman
laws. Their children were not heirs of their father.
