English

Etymology

[edit]

From Latin iūridiciālis, though see usage notes.[1]

Pronunciation

[edit]

IPA(key): /ˌd͡ʒʊɹɪˈdɪʃəl/

Adjective

[edit]

juridicial (not generally comparable, comparative more juridicial, superlative most juridicial)

  1. Of or pertaining to matters of law and justice or the office of a judge.

Usage notes

[edit]
  • Although its Latin etymon iūridiciālis does have an -i-, it has been argued that this word began as a misreading of juridical that readers confused with judicial. Some writers therefore prefer juridical /ˌd͡ʒʊˈɹɪdɪkəl/.
