Etymology

The term 'adjudged' originates from the Latin word 'adjudicare', which means to adjudicate or to give judgment. The prefix 'ad-' means towards, and 'judicare' is derived from 'judex' meaning judge. This term passed through Old French before reaching Middle English and becoming standard in legal terminology. The use of the word in English dates back to the late 14th century, where it was primarily employed in legal contexts. Over time, 'adjudge' expanded in usage beyond the courtroom, often applied in formal decisions in various settings.
