Etymology of DISJUDICATION

The term "disjudication" is a combination of two common word roots: "dis-" and "judication".

1. "Dis-" is a prefix derived from Latin, meaning "apart", "away", or "reverse". It can convey a negative or reversing sense to the word it is attached to. In this case, "dis-" suggests negation or reversal of the process of "judication".

2. "Judication" is derived from the Latin word "judicatio", which means "judgment" or "decision". It is related to the verb "judicare", meaning "to judge" or "to decide". Over time, "judication" has come to refer to the act of making a formal judgment or decision, particularly in a legal context.

Combining these two elements, "disjudication" suggests a negation or reversal of the process of making a formal judgment or decision.
