HISTORICAL ROOTS OF THE FORMATION OF TERMS RELATED TO JURISPRUDENCE

Abstract

This article examines the historical origins and evolution of terms associated with jurisprudence, shedding light on the linguistic and conceptual foundations of the field. By tracing the etymology and semantic development of key legal terminology, the study investigates how the language of law has evolved over time and the historical contexts that have shaped its meaning.

Drawing upon a multidisciplinary approach that incorporates linguistics, legal history, and socio-cultural analysis, the research explores the diverse sources and influences that have contributed to the formation of legal terms. It investigates the impact of ancient legal systems, such as Roman law, Canon law, and Islamic law, on the development of legal vocabulary. Additionally, it examines the role of linguistic borrowings, such as Latin, French, and Greek, in enriching and expanding the lexicon of jurisprudence.
