Pronunciation: [dˈɪɡɐmˌɪst] (IPA) 
The word "digamist" is spelled with two "g"s and an "a" after the first "g". In IPA phonetic transcription, this word would be spelled /dɪˈɡæmɪst/. The stress falls on the second syllable, where the "a" is pronounced with an "æ" sound, as in the word "cat". The two "g"s are pronounced separately, with a short "i" vowel sound between them. "Digamist" is a relatively uncommon word that refers to someone who has been married twice.
Digamist is a term used to describe an individual who has married multiple times and is currently in a state of being married to two partners simultaneously. The word is derived from the combination of two Greek terms: "di," meaning two, and "gamos," meaning marriage. Digamist is specifically used to refer to a person who practices polygamy, which is the act of having multiple spouses at the same time.
In some societies or cultures where polygamy is accepted or legally recognized, a digamist may have entered into their multiple marriages with the full consent and knowledge of all parties involved. However, in many jurisdictions, polygamy is considered illegal or culturally unacceptable. Therefore, in these contexts, a digamist may be seen as engaging in a form of marriage that is non-compliant with legal or social norms.
It is important to distinguish between digamists and individuals who have had multiple marriages sequentially, as the latter is commonly referred to as a "serial monogamist." Unlike digamists, who maintain simultaneous marriages, serial monogamists enter into successive marriages, often after divorcing or becoming widowed from previous spouses.
Overall, digamist is a term primarily used to label individuals who engage in polygamous relationships and are simultaneously married to multiple partners.
The word "digamist" is a combination of two elements: "di-" and "gamist".
"Di-" is a prefix derived from the Greek word "dis", which means "twice" or "double". It is commonly used in English to indicate two or twice.
"Gamist" is derived from the Greek word "gamos", which means "marriage" or "union". It is also related to the Greek word "gamy", meaning "spouse" or "partner".
Therefore, when combined, "digamist" refers to someone who has entered into marriage or a union twice, indicating that they are a two-time spouse or partner.
