Etymology

The word 'summons' comes from the Latin word 'summonere', which means to call or to summon. This Latin root is derived from 'sub-' (meaning under) and 'monere' (meaning to warn). The term evolved in Middle English as 'sommen', reflecting the legal context in which it was often used. Over time, 'summons' became specifically associated with legal documents requiring an individual's appearance in court. The usage of 'summons' in legal terminology can be traced back to the 14th century, and it has retained its significance in contemporary law as a crucial component in the judicial process.
