The Latin origin is from the word 'justus' meaning upright and just. The word passed into the Old French language as 'justise' meaning 'the exercise of authority allocating reward or punishment'. The word passed into English around 1200 AD and referred to an individual concerned with the administration of the law - a judicial officer.
