juridicial
English
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Latin iūridiciālis, though see usage notes.[1]
Pronunciation
[edit]Adjective
[edit]juridicial (not generally comparable, comparative more juridicial, superlative most juridicial)
- Of or pertaining to matters of law and justice or the office of a judge.
- Synonyms: juridical; see also Thesaurus:judicial
Usage notes
[edit]- Although its Latin etymon iūridiciālis does have an -i-, it has been argued that this word began as a misreading of juridical that readers confused with judicial. Some writers therefore prefer juridical, pronounced /d͡ʒʊˈɹɪdɪkəl/.
