Aequian

/ˈeɪkwiən/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or characterized by equality or equitable division.

Etymology

From aequus (equal) + -ian (adjective suffix). This rare adjective form emphasizes the quality of being equal or fair.

Kelly Says

Though barely used in modern English, 'aequian' represents an ancient legal and philosophical tradition—Roman law obsessed over aequitas (equity), the idea that justice should be fair, not just technically legal. The word carries that whole debate.
