Etymology
The term 'inadmissible' has its roots in legal terminology and is derived from the Latin word 'admittere,' which means 'to admit.' In its Latin form, 'in-' is a prefix meaning 'not,' indicating something that is not allowed to be accepted. The evolution of this term reflects the growing complexities of legal discourse, evolving particularly during the development of common law in the 14th century. By the time it was incorporated into the English language, 'inadmissible' had taken on a more specific meaning that pertains to laws of evidence, indicating that certain pieces of evidence cannot be used in a court of law. Over the years, it has expanded to various contexts indicating anything that cannot be accepted or permitted.
