Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the combination of 'exceptional' (from Late Latin exceptionalis, from Latin exceptus, past participle of excipere 'take out') and 'circumstances' (from Latin circumstantia, from circumstare 'surround'). Historically entering legal and administrative discourse in the late 19th century, the phrase evolved to designate extraordinary, unforeseen situations that justify an exception to standard rules.
