Meaning and Origin:
The word "prorogue" means to extend the duration of something, especially a legislative body. It originally referred to the act of requesting an extension from a presiding officer, such as a judge or the speaker of a parliament.
The word entered English in the early 17th century from Latin. It was first used in a legal context to describe the extension of a court session. Over time, the term came to be used more broadly to refer to the extension of any period of time, especially the extension of a legislative session.
In the United Kingdom, the prorogation of Parliament is a prerogative power of the monarch. The monarch can prorogue Parliament at any time, but it is typically done at the end of a parliamentary session. Prorogation dissolves all parliamentary committees and suspends all parliamentary business.
