extradition
- extradition
extradition (
n.) 1833, from
Fr. extradition (18c.), apparently a coinage of Voltaire's, from
L. ex "
out" (see
EX- (
Cf. ex-)) +
traditionem (
nom. traditio) "
a delivering up, handing over," noun of action from
tradere "
to hand over" (see
TRADITION (
Cf. tradition)).
This word might be adopted in our language with advantage, as we have none which conveys the same meaning. Extradition signifies the delivering up of criminals who may have sought refuge in any country, to the government whose subjects they are, on a claim being made to this effect. [from a footnote to the word extradition in translation of "Memoirs of Marshal Ney," London, 1833]
