A quick definition of affectus sine effectu:

AFFECTUS SINE EFFECTU: A fancy Latin phrase that means when you plan to do something but don't actually do it.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A Latin phrase meaning "an intention without effect." It refers to an intention or plan that is not carried out.

  • John had planned to study for his exam all weekend, but he ended up going out with his friends instead. His intention to study was affectus sine effectu.
  • Sarah had intended to start exercising regularly, but she never got around to it. Her intention was affectus sine effectu.
