Etymology
The term 'extraditable' is derived from the word 'extradite,' which comes from the Latin 'extraditare.' In Latin, 'extra' means 'out of' and 'tradere' means 'to deliver or hand over.' The notion of extradition became prominent in the 19th century as nations began to sign treaties that allowed for the apprehension and transfer of fugitives across borders. The complexities of international relations necessitated a formal process to deal with criminals who fled to other jurisdictions, leading to the establishment of clear legal parameters around what it means for someone to be extraditable. As legal systems evolved, the concept came to encompass various stipulations and conditions, such as the nature of the crime, the rights of the accused, and the diplomatic relations between countries.
