Read a random definition: adventitious property

A quick definition of attentate:

Attentate: A word used in history to describe a criminal attempt or assault. It can also refer to a mistake made by a judge in a lower court after a case has been stopped or appealed.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Attentate is a historical term that refers to three different things:

  1. A criminal attempt
  2. An assault
  3. An incorrect decision made by a lower-court judge after a case has been stayed or appealed

Examples:

  • John was arrested for his attentate to rob a bank.
  • The victim suffered serious injuries from the attentate.
  • The higher court overturned the lower-court judge's attentate decision.

The first two examples illustrate the first two definitions of attentate, which refer to a criminal attempt and an assault. The third example illustrates the third definition, which refers to an incorrect decision made by a lower-court judge after a case has been stayed or appealed.
