Where does the word juridical come from?

The word "juridical" originated from the Latin word "ius," meaning law or legal, and the suffix "-ical," which signifies relating to or resembling. In the 15th century, the term "juridicall" emerged in Medieval Latin, meaning "of or concerning law." The word's usage expanded during the Renaissance, and it was commonly employed in legal texts and treatises to describe legal matters and institutions. Over time, the term "juridical" lost its Latin form and has become a more familiar term in modern English. Today, "juridical" typically refers to matters related to law, legal proceedings, or legal entities, such as juridical persons, which are artificial entities created by law, such as corporations, and have legal personality distinct from their members or shareholders.
