ADJOURNED Meaning and
Definition
-
The term "adjourned" refers to the action or process of suspending or halting a meeting, session, or formal gathering until a later specified time or date. This action typically occurs when the agenda or business at hand has been completed or when it is deemed necessary to temporarily halt proceedings for various reasons.
When a meeting is adjourned, it means that the attendees or participants discontinue their discussion or deliberation and disperse, with the intention of reconvening at a later time. This break could be for a few hours, days, or even weeks depending on the timeframe agreed upon. The adjournment can be either temporary, indicating a continuation of the same meeting at a later time, or final, marking the conclusion of the meeting or session altogether.
The decision to adjourn can be made by the chairperson or the presiding officer of the gathering, often based on factors such as completion of the agenda, time constraints, or the need for additional information or resources before proceeding. It may involve announcing the specific date, time, and location for the next meeting or determining it at a later stage.
In legal proceedings, adjournment refers to a temporary pause in a court case or trial, usually to allow for further evidence gathering, research, or other necessary actions from the parties involved. The judge or presiding magistrate decides whether to adjourn the hearing or continue with the proceedings based on applicable laws and the circumstances of the case.

Etymology of ADJOURNED
The word "adjourned" has its etymology in Middle English from the Old French word "ajorner", which meant "to put off to another day". This word further derived from the Latin word "adiornare", meaning "to help, arrange, or equip". Over time, in English, "ajorner" transformed into "adjourn" and later, "adjourned", retaining a similar meaning of a temporary suspension or delay of a meeting or session.
