formed an opinion about; made a decision in a court of law
From Old French 'jugier,' from Latin 'judicare' (to judge), from 'judex' (judge), from 'jus' (law) + 'dicere' (to say)
A judge literally 'speaks the law' - the Latin root combines 'jus' (law) and 'dicere' (to speak). Every time we judge something, we're essentially 'speaking our law' about it.
