Origin:
The Latin verb "decernere" originally meant "to separate" or "to decide." It was used in legal and administrative contexts to refer to the act of making an official decision. The prefix "de-" indicates a downward motion, suggesting a decisive or impactful action.
Over time, the meaning of "decernere" evolved to specifically refer to the issuance of an authoritative order or ruling by a court or other governing body. This sense was adopted into English via Old French and eventually gave rise to the modern word "decree."
