A cuckold is a person (usually male) whose partner has been seduced by another person.

According to the Oxford American Dictionary:

ORIGIN late Old English , from Old French cucuault, from cucu 'cuckoo' (from the cuckoo's habit of laying its egg in another bird's nest). The equivalent words in French and other languages applied to both the bird and the adulterer; cuckold has never been applied to the bird in English.
