Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term combines the Middle English 'legal', derived from Latin 'legalis' (pertaining to the law, from lex), and 'right', from Old English 'riht' (just, straight, or conforming to justice). The phrase solidified in Western jurisprudence during the development of constitutional and statutory frameworks to denote powers or privileges guaranteed by a legal system.
