A formal legal objection claiming that even if the other side's facts are true, they don't prove their case in law.
From demur plus -er (agent noun suffix). In law, it became a specific technical term for a type of objection filed in court. From Old French/Latin demorari.
A demurrer is like saying in court, 'Okay, maybe everything you said is true, but you still haven't broken any law'—it's a clever legal move that can win cases without even fighting over the facts!
