Etymology

The word 'decree' originates from Middle English 'decree', which came from Old French 'decret', and further back from Latin 'decretum', meaning 'something decided, a decree'. Its roots lie in the verb 'decernere', which means 'to decide, determine'. Historically, decrees were associated with formal pronouncements by rulers, especially in contexts where legal authority needed to be established or clarified. Over time, the usage of the term has expanded beyond political realms into various sectors including religious, judicial, and administrative domains. In modern usage, to decree can suggest the exercise of power by a figure of authority, and it retains its significance in legal contexts.
