The word adjudicate comes from the Latin root ‘judex’, the word for law. This word is part of legalese and is also used in terminology associated with construction, background investigations and emergency response.<\/p>\n

Here are some instances in literature where this verb has been used.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo me, the thing about friendship that makes it so singular is that it\u2019s a relationship that\u2019s central to our identity in that it doesn\u2019t necessarily benefit us in any tangible way. It\u2019s a relationship we don\u2019t have to pursue \u2013 if we decide to stop being friends one day, nothing will happen, no one\u2019s there to legislate or adjudicate it. It\u2019s two people who every day choose to keep it going, and in that way it\u2019s very powerful because it\u2019s one you choose to work on, and you choose to without any agreement; it\u2019s an unspoken bond.\u201d

Feminists have fought to remove the definition of what a woman is from these masculine institutions and develop their own understandings.\u201d
