+ ==Forms==

+ '''abiūdicō''' (present infinitive abiūdicāre, perfect active abiūdicāvī, supine abiūdicātum); first conjugation^(Wiktionary)

+ The agrarian law has the older spelling ''abioudicārī''.^(TLL)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|ab-|iūdicō|t1=away from|t2=to judge]], the opposite of [[m|la|adiūdicō|t=to award by judgement]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(Lewis & Short 1879) The verb [[m|la|iūdicō]] is formed on [[m|la|iūdex|t=judge]], which de Vaan derives from ⟨*ious-dik-⟩, a compound of [[m|la|iūs#2|t=law]] and the root of [[m|la|dīcō#2|t=to say]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Plautus has it in the ''Rudens'': ''abiudicata a me modo est Palaestra'', “Palaestra has just been taken from me by the verdict”;^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) in the ''Asinaria'' he jokes ''me a vita abiudicabo'', “I shall adjudge myself out of life”.^(OLD 2012)^(Georges 1913)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ Its legal sense is to take something away from someone by a judicial verdict, to declare that it does not belong to them.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Cicero uses it in the speeches on the agrarian law, where Rullus would adjudge Alexandria to the king and take it from the Roman people, and in the ''Verrines'' and ''Pro Caecina'' figuratively, of a man who has denied himself his freedom.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(OLD 2012) Livy and Tacitus use it of land taken away by a verdict, and Ulpian in the ''Digest''.^(OLD 2012) In the ''De oratore'' Cicero uses it for rejecting an argument outright, though many editors read [[abdicō]] there.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) A glossary explains ''abiudicas'' as ''negas'', “you deny”,^(TLL) and in Ecclesiastical Latin it means to take away by judgement or to deny.^(Stelten 1995)
