24.01.2022 The judge has a point. "This is an application that I "recuse" myself. The use of such terminology is deplorable. The Latin root is the verb, recuso, recusare, recusavi, recusatum. That is a technical term in Roman law. It is used by certain jurists meaning, to make an objection or to demur. It is so used by Cicero, Celsus, Quintilian and Julian. It gives a noun form, recusatio, recusationis, which means either a counter plea or a demurrer. However, the verb could also be used generally, meaning to make an objection or to protest. It is so used by Cicero, by Ovid, by Seneca, by Livy and by Caesar. It can also mean, not to accept or consent, or to decline, to reject, or to oppose. It is not used reflexively and is not used in Latin to mean to disqualify oneself".
