+ '''iūrgium''' ''n'' (genitive iūrgiī or iūrgī); second declension^(Wiktionary)

+ It is also spelled ''jurgium''.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is formed from [[m|la|iūrgō|t=to quarrel, rebuke]] with the suffix [[m|la|-ium]].^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Wiktionary) De Vaan takes the verb, spelled ⟨iūrigāre⟩ in Plautus, and the noun to be based on a compound ⟨*iūrago-⟩, from ⟨*ious-ago-⟩ “bringing the oath” or the like, that is [[m|la|iūs|t=right, law]] and [[m|la|agō|t=to drive, conduct]]; ⟨iūs⟩ goes back to [[itc-pro|*jowos|t=oath, law]] and [[ine-pro|*h₂ieu-os|t=vital force]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Köbler gives Plautus,^(Köbler 2010) who has a daughter who never sends for her father unless there is some quarrel, and a husband who drove his wife from the door with abuse, both in the ''Menaechmi''.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is a quarrel, strife, dispute or altercation, as in Plautus' ''Menaechmi'', and abuse, vituperation or invective, as Plautus' “at last I drove my wife from the door with abuse”.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Wiktionary) In law it is a legal proceeding, as Papinian's division of property where the case lapsed, and Wiktionary also gives a separation between husband and wife.^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ Döderlein groups ''contentiō'', ''altercātiō'' and ''iūrgium'' as disputes carried on with passion, against ''disceptātiō'', ''lītigātiō'' and ''contrōversia'', which are settled quietly and in order.^(Döderlein 1874) Church Latin glosses it “quarrel, wrangling, dispute, contention”.^(Stelten 1995)

+
