单词	mooting
释义	moot 1 of 3 adjective ˈmüt 1 a : open to question : debatable b : subjected to discussion : disputed 2 : deprived of practical significance : made abstract or purely academic moot 2 of 3 verb mooted; mooting; moots transitive verb 1 a : to bring up for discussion : broach b : debate 2 archaic : to discuss from a legal standpoint : argue moot 3 of 3 noun 1 : a deliberative assembly primarily for the administration of justice especially : one held by the freemen of an Anglo-Saxon community 2 obsolete : argument, discussion Did you know? Moot derives from gemōt, an Old English name for a judicial court. Originally, moot referred to either the court itself or an argument that might be debated by one. By the 16th century, the legal role of judicial moots had diminished, and the only remnant of them were moot courts, academic mock courts in which law students could try hypothetical cases for practice. Back then, moot was used as a synonym of debatable, but because the cases students tried in moot courts were simply academic exercises, the word gained the additional sense "deprived of practical significance." Some commentators still frown on using moot to mean "purely academic," but most editors now accept both senses as standard.
