Plural of dixit; formal statements or pronouncements, especially referring to something said or stated as fact.
From Latin dixit, the third-person singular past tense of dicere meaning 'to say,' used in English legal and formal contexts to mean 'he/she said' or 'it is said.'
In Latin, 'dixit' meant 'he said'—and English legal documents still use this word when quoting someone important, making it a perfect example of how Latin remains embedded in formal English!
