B. Juris = law, dict = say, - ion = action or process; the word means to have the right to make legal decisions

Reed Castro · Answer 2

B. Juris = law, dict = say, - ion = action or process; the word means to have the right to make legal decisions

The word jurisdiction is made of 3 parts:

1. Root word "juris", which means of law or pertaining to law

2. Latin root word "dict" which means "say"

3. Suffix "ion" which denotes an action

Therefore, by combining these parts, the word jurisdiction means having the right to make legal decisions.
