Functus

/ˈfʌŋktəs/ adjective

Definition

In legal terminology, having completed one's duties or term of office and no longer having authority to act; 'functus officio' means 'having discharged one's function.'

Etymology

From Latin functus, past participle of fungi (to perform, execute, discharge). This is directly from Latin legal terminology and retains its original form in English law.

Kelly Says

'Functus officio' is pure legal Latin that English lawyers still use to describe when a judge or official loses power after their term ends—it's more precise and dramatic than just saying 'out of office.'
