uxorious

'fond' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'you said or sioux bizarrely' is the wordplay.
'you said' becomes 'U' (homophone of 'you').
'bizarrely' indicates an anagram.
'or'+'sioux'='orsioux'
'orsioux' is an anagram of 'xorious'.
'u'+'xorious'='UXORIOUS'

'of the dutch' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
