PROROGUED Meaning and
Definition
-
Prorogued is a verb that denotes the act of suspending or discontinuing a legislative or parliamentary session without dissolving it. When a session of a legislative body, such as a parliament or congress, is prorogued, it means that the session is paused or terminated for a certain period of time, usually with the aim of adjourning temporarily, resuming at a later date, or allowing for a break or recess.
The term "prorogued" is often used in the context of parliamentary procedure and government activities. It is typically initiated by the authority responsible for managing legislative affairs, such as a head of state or a presiding officer, who issues a prorogation order or proclamation. This order sets forth the end date and duration of the prorogation period, which can range from a few days to several months.
Prorogation is different from dissolution, as dissolution permanently ends a parliamentary session and calls for new elections, while prorogation temporarily halts the session and allows the parliament to pick up its business from where it left off after the prorogation period ends. During prorogation, legislative activities, debates, deliberations, and voting are put on hold, and the members of the parliament or congress are not required to convene or carry out their legislative duties. However, urgent matters or any unforeseen emergencies can still be addressed through alternative procedures or special sessions.
Common Misspellings for PROROGUED
Etymology of PROROGUED
The word "prorogued" originated from the Latin term "prorogare", which consists of two parts: "pro" meaning "forward" or "in front of", and "rogare" meaning "to ask" or "to propose". In ancient Rome, "prorogare" referred to the act of extending a legislative session or postponing the coming together of a legislative body beyond its initial period. Over time, the term was adopted into English, and "prorogued" came to indicate the act of discontinuing a session or postponing the business of a legislative assembly by the authority of the monarch or executive.
