The "adulterer" term isn't used as in today's definition. Basically, one
(or both) parties were married. I have one record in my family where
Francisco was single, Maria was married to So-and-So. Francisco and Maria
had a baby. Francisco was listed as the adulterer. By today's definition,
Maria was the adultress and Francisco having relations with a married woman
isn't a nice thing, but I can't think of a "proper" word for that in the
English language. I know lots of name-calling terms for that, but I don't
think there's a proper word for a single man who has a relationship with a
married woman.
