different between jury vs embracery
jury
English
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /?d????.?i/, [?d????.??i], [d???i]
- Rhymes: -???i
Etymology 1
From Middle English jure, from Anglo-Norman juree, from Medieval Latin i?r?ta, from Latin i?r? (“I swear or take an oath”).
Noun
jury (plural juries)
- (law) A group of individuals chosen from the general population to hear and decide a case in a court of law.
- A group of judges in a competition.
- (theater, slang) The audience attending the first night of a performance, whose reaction may determine whether it succeeds or fails.
- 1828, The New Monthly Magazine (page 418)
- The jury which decides on the first night usually seals the fate of the season.
- 1971, George Jean Nathan, The Entertainment of a Nation: Or, Three-sheets in the Wind (page 130)
- The widespread idea that before a first-night the audience, dressed to the nose, dines en masse at the Colony and proceeds elegantly to the scene in Hispanos is as fabulous as that which imagines it assembles at Lindy's delicatessen in yesterday's shirt and moves on to the theatre in garbage wagons. And no less spurious is the theory that, in either case or in both together, the jury is possessed of a remarkably rich acumen in the matter of theatrical values.
- 1828, The New Monthly Magazine (page 418)
