单词 | juror |
释义 | jurorn. 1. a. One of a company of persons (originally men) sworn to deliver a verdict on a matter officially referred to them; a member of a jury; a juryman or jury-woman.The word has the same historical development as is seen in jury n., but has now a wider range of application than juryman and jury-woman, being freely used historically of members of the ancient inquests out of which the jury system arose, as well as of members of a jury chosen to adjudicate between competitors, and award prizes, to whom ‘juryman’ is seldom applied.
