jury

jury
{{11}}jury (adj.) "temporary," 1610s, in jury-mast, a nautical term for a temporary mast put in place of one broken or blown away, of uncertain origin. The word perhaps is ultimately from O.Fr. ajurie "help, relief," from L. adjutare (see AID (Cf. aid) (n.)).
{{12}}jury (n.) early 14c. (attested from late 12c. in Anglo-Latin), from Anglo-Fr. juree (late 13c.), from M.L. iurata "an oath, an inquest," fem. pp. of L. iurare "to swear," from ius (gen. iuris) "law" (see JURIST (Cf. jurist)). Grand jury attested from early 15c. in Anglo-Fr. (le graund Jurre). Meaning "body of persons chosen to award prizes at an exhibition" is from 1851.
