A quick definition of cadere:
Term: cadere
Definition: Cadere is a Latin word that means "to fail." In history, it was used to describe the end, cessation, or failure of something, particularly a writ action. For example, "cadit breve" means "the writ fails." It can also mean to be changed or turned into something else. "Cadit assisa in juratum" means "the assize is changed into a jury."
A more thorough explanation:
Cadere is a Latin word that means "to fail." It has two historical meanings:
- When a writ action ends, ceases, or fails, it is called cadere. For example, if a writ fails, it is called "cadit breve."
- When something is changed or turned into something else, it is also called cadere. For example, if an assize is changed into a jury, it is called "cadit assisa in juratum."
These examples illustrate how cadere was used in the past to describe the failure of legal actions and the transformation of legal procedures.
