"Însurat" is the past participle of the reflexive verb "a se însura," used as an adjective. It comes from an unattested Vulgar Latin verb "uxorare," built on "uxor," the Latin word for wife. The core sense is a man who has taken a wife, which is why the word applies only to men. Romanian keeps a separate word, "măritată," for a married woman, from Latin "maritare."
