The term "dictum" originates from Latin, meaning "that which is said." It is derived from the verb "dicere," which means "to say" or "to speak." In legal contexts, "dictum" refers to a statement or remark made by a judge in a legal opinion that is not essential to the decision and therefore not legally binding. The plural form is "dicta."
