Etymology
The word 'invalidly' is derived from the base word 'invalid,' which comes from the Latin 'invalidus,' meaning 'not strong or not valid.' The prefix 'in-' in Latin implies negation, while 'validus' means strong or powerful. The evolution of the term has followed a path through Middle French in the form of 'invalid,' which referred to someone who was weak or incapacitated. Over time, the meaning transitioned into legal contexts, where 'invalid' signifies something that cannot produce legal effect. The adverbial form 'invalidly' thus emerged to describe actions taken in this ineffective manner. The use of 'invalidly' has become prevalent in legal, academic, and formal discussions, especially concerning contracts, legislation, and procedural correctness.
