Handed over a person accused or convicted of a crime to another country or jurisdiction where they will be tried or punished.
From Medieval Latin 'ex-' (out) and 'traditus' (handed over), combined in the form 'extradition.' The legal term became standardized in the 19th century.
Extradition treaties between countries can create diplomatic drama—some countries famously refuse to extradite their own citizens, while others hide behind extradition laws to protect people from political persecution.
