Forms: 1700s–1800s noscitur a socio, 1800s– noscitur a sociis.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin noscitur a sociis.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin noscitur a sociis he is known from his companions < classical Latin nōscitur , 3rd singular present passive indicative of nōscere to know (see know v.) + ā by, from + sociīs , ablative plural of socius companion (see socio- comb. form).In form noscitur a socio after classical Latin sociō, ablative singular of socius.

1. ‘A man is known by the company he keeps’; the proverb ‘noscitur a sociis’ expressing this.

ΚΠ

1749 H. Fielding Tom Jones I. iii. ii. 157 The Wit of them all may be comprised in that short Latin proverb, ‘Noscitur a socio’; which, I think, is thus expressed in English, ‘You may know him by the Company he keeps.’

1792 R. Bage Man as he Is III. lxxiii. 185 ‘Noscitur a sociis,’ says the old man, stung with this reproof; ‘Noscitur a sociis. A man can't go to the devil, without having people ready to tell him he is in the road to heaven.’

1824 W. Scott Redgauntlet xi. 259 To associate with Redgauntlet; and for me it would be noscitur a socio.

1911 H. Bradley Let. 16 July (1940) 85 From what you say of Tyrell, I suppose noscitur a sociis does not apply to him.

1942 H. H. Henson Retrospect I. iv. 192 The proverb noscitur a sociis extends to a man's books as well as to his companions.

2. Law. The doctrine that if the meaning of a word is doubtful, it shall be taken to agree with the context of the surrounding words.

ΚΠ

1790 C. Durnford & E. H. East Law Rep. 3 87 The Court considered the role adopted by Lord Hale, noscitur à sociis; which..was intended to convey in short terms the grounds upon which he formed his judgment.

1823 R. V. Barnewall & C. Cresswell Rep. Cases King's Bench 1 644 Whatever estate, therefore, one child takes, must have been intended for every other child as a member of the same class, upon the principle of the maxim, noscitur a sociis.

1883 Sat. Rev. 55 488 The more heavily does the noscitur a sociis doctrine press on their clients.

1909 Amer. Polit. Sci. Rev. 3 169 It is hard to see how the court could construe otherwise (according to the familiar principle of ‘noscitur a sociis’).

1992 F. A. R. Bennion Statutory Interpretation (ed. 2) xxviii. 853 The Latin maxim noscitur a sociis states this contextual principle, whereby a word or phrase is not to be construed as it stood alone but in the light of its surroundings.
