Adjure

Ad>to
jur>Oath

So essentially to do something under oath, but the real meaning is to command someone under oath or in solemnness.

It does not fit in exactly, but the roots go some way to reminding us the meaning if we forget....

Inscrutable!

She was kind enough to forgive your rude behavior and rather see it as jubilant as opposed to have blatant disregard for a lady's personal space....

Inscrutable

In>>Means "not" or the opposite of the original meaning.
Scrut>>Means "Examine"
"able">>To be able to do something

So basically not being able to examine something....

Essentially the meaning of the word is "Un-examinable" or "Incomprehensible"

Guys, can anyone give me a more definice meaning of this word: jurisprudence
Hey engraved so this is what i found:

 the collection of rules imposed by authority; "civilization presupposes respect for the law"; "the great problem for jurisprudence to allow freedom while enforcing order"
and i use "www.thefreedictionary.com" its really helpful plus it gives a sentence with ur word so u can understnad it better

I thought jurisprudence was defined as the science or Philosophy of law...

Here is one that comes up often:

Benign: Which means harmless.

Bene means good.

Benevolent is another word that comes up in holy scriptures a lot.

Bene means good.

Vole means wish.

So good wishing, from the root words. But the word actually means Kind or considerate, which is a close approximation.
