appellant etymology

Etymology:

• Latin: appellant- "one who appeals"
• French: appellant
• Middle English: appelant (14th century)

Meaning and Origin:

The word "appellant" comes from the Latin word "appellant," which literally means "one who appeals." It originally referred to someone who appealed to a higher court or authority against a decision made by a lower one.

In the legal context, an appellant is a person or entity who has filed an appeal against a lower court's judgment, typically seeking to have it overturned or modified. The opposite of an appellant is a respondent, who is the party defending against the appeal.

The term "appellant" is also used more generally to refer to anyone who makes an appeal, such as someone who requests assistance or support.

Examples:

• The appellant in the case argued that the lower court had made a legal error in its decision.
• The appellant filed an appeal with the appellate division of the court.
• The charity launched an appeal for donations to support their work.
