A Latin term meaning 'below' or 'beneath', used in legal and academic writing to refer to something mentioned later in the text.
From Latin infra, meaning 'below' or 'underneath', derived from the root *en-dhero meaning 'lower'. Used in legal Latin and adopted into English academic and legal writing as a citation convention.
Infra is part of a sophisticated citation dance in legal writing - while 'supra' points backward to earlier mentions, 'infra' points forward to future references. This creates a temporal navigation system that turns legal documents into carefully cross-referenced intellectual maps.
