Ejusd

/ɛˈdʒʌs deɪ/ noun

Definition

An abbreviation for a Latin legal phrase meaning 'of the same'; used in citations and legal documents to refer to the same person or thing previously mentioned.

Etymology

Latin abbreviation for 'eiusdem' (of the same). Used extensively in legal Latin to avoid repetition and maintain conciseness in documents.

Kelly Says

Legal documents are filled with Latin shorthand like ejusd—it's a word that technically doesn't exist in full form when used as ejusd, just an abbreviation that became a word itself.
