Injustices

/ɪnˈdʒʌstɪsɪz/ noun

Definition

Plural of injustice; unfair or unjust acts, decisions, or situations that harm people or violate their rights.

Etymology

From Latin 'injusticia,' combining 'in-' (not) and 'justus' (just or fair). The word literally means 'unfairness' or lack of justice.

Kelly Says

Interestingly, the concept of injustice requires first having the concept of justice—so the word only makes sense in societies developed enough to think about fairness and rights!
