While reading this article, I came across a term that’s being used often nowadays: quasi-judicial. (It’s on the front page of today’s Economic Times as well)
What’s quasi? It’s really fancy Latin to mean “kinda, but not exactly,” so quasi judicial is to do with the judiciary to some extent, but not completely.
I’ve liked the word ever since I studied quasi rent in economics. Latin words always make for nice packaging.
Bonum nomen, bonum omen :- A good name, a good omen
Thanks for the link. Didn’t know the application of the word “rent” was so wide.
I think Quasi is the equivalent of “faux” or “pseudo” but without the negative connotations the words carry - “False ceiling” can be called “Quasi-ceiling”
