This etymology highlights the relationship between law and spoken judgment or declaration. Over time, 'juridicus' evolved into various forms in different languages, which eventually led to the English adverb 'juridically.' It began to be used in the English language around the mid-19th century, particularly in legal discussions and writings. The usage of 'juridically' emphasizes the systematic nature of law as it relates to justice and legal processes, and it remains a term often employed in legal discourse among scholars and practitioners alike.
