law - law - n.: Today
the word law has various meanings or senses. Often law refers
to a set of rules and principles of conduct, action or procedure established
and formally recognized as binding by custom, agreement, or enforced by a controlling
authority; a system of law and order; administration of justice giving effect
to the laws of a community, a legal system, such as by judicial or legislative
decision, enforced by a political authority; courts, judges, codes, cases, law
suits, legal action or proceedings; litigation. The condition of social order
and justice created by adherence to such a system: a breakdown of law and civilized
behavior. [The Middle English word law, evolved from the Old English
lagu, which derived from the Old Norse lagu, variant of lag,
meaning that which is laid down.] Often also refers to agents or agencies involved
in or responsible for enforcing the law. Or, the science or study of law; Jurisprudence;
the knowledge, nature, use, and effects of laws and legal systems within society
(the politics of law). Includes the profession of a lawyer or an attorney; the
legal profession (the practice of law); and law enforcement officer, police.
Occasionally, an impromptu or extralegal system of justice substituted for established
judicial procedure: frontier law or taking the law into (one's)
own hands - handing out justice as one sees fit. More on
Law.
encyclopedia - en-cy-clo-pe-di-a - n.:
A comprehensive reference work or compendium of knowledge, containing
articles either on a wide range of general subjects (attempting to cover
all fields) or on numerous aspects of a particular specialized field
(aiming to be very comprehensive in a particular field). Print editions
of encyclopedias (typically a large set of books) have usually been
arranged alphabetically.The Medieval Latin word encyclopaedia,
meaning general education course, derived and evolved from the alteration
of Greek enkuklios paideia, meaning general education: enkuklios,
circular, general, cyclical, periodic, ordinary; + paideia,
education (from pais, paid-, child). Early copyists of Latin
manuscripts took this phrase to be a single Greek word, enkuklopaedia,
with the same meaning. The Greek words then became the New Latin word
encyclopaedia, later coming into general English use with the
meaning and sense of a "general course of instruction".] The
modern type of encyclopedia (with an alphabetical arrangement and bibliographies)
is known to have been established by John Harris with his Lexicon
technicum (1704). Perhaps the most famous print encyclopedia, the
Encyclopaedia Britannica was first published in three volumes
(1768 through 1771). Originally published in Edinburgh by Adam and Charles
Black, in later years, the Encyclopaedia Britannica grew in
size and reputation and was published in the United States when the
trademark and publication rights were sold (after the 11th edition)
to Sears Roebuck. More on Encyclopedia.
