-
A Latin preposition or prefix, Gr. ex or ek, signifying out of, out, proceeding from. Hence, in composition, it signifies sometimes out of, as in exhale, exclude; sometimes off, from, or out, as in L. exscindo, to cut off or out; sometimes beyond, as in excess, exceed, excel. In some words it is merely emphatical; in others it has little effect on the signification. Ex prefixed to names of office denotes that a person has held, but no longer holds, that office; as, ex-minister. Ex is frequently used as a preposition before English words, as in the phrase, 20 chests tea ex "Sea King," where it signifies taken out of, delivered from. Stock of any kind sold ex div. means that the next dividend upon such stock has been declared, and is reserved by the seller.
