Definition justice

Etymology

From Middle English justice, borrowed from Old French justise, justice (Modern French justice), from Latin i?stitia (“righteousness, equity”), from i?stus (“just”), from i?s (“right”), from Proto-Italic *jowos, perhaps literally "sacred formula", a word peculiar to Latin (not general Italic) that originated in the religious cults, from Proto-Indo-European *h?yew-.

Displaced native Middle English rightwished, rightwisnes (“justice”) (from Old English rihtw?snes (“justice, righteousness”), compare Old English ?erihte (“justice”)).
