A quick definition of essoin:

Essoin is an old-fashioned word that means having an excuse for not showing up in court when you were supposed to. It was used a long time ago when people had to go to court in person, and if they didn't show up, they had to have a good reason why. The word can also be used as a verb, which means to give an excuse for not showing up in court.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Essoin (e-soyn) is a historical term that refers to an excuse for not appearing in court on a scheduled day in response to a summons. It can also refer to the presentation of such an excuse.

For example, in the past, if someone received a summons to appear in court but could not attend on the scheduled day, they could present an essoin to explain their absence. This excuse would be reviewed by the court to determine if it was valid.

The term "essoign" comes from Old French and was commonly used in legal proceedings in England during the Middle Ages.

Essoin can also be used as a verb, meaning to present an excuse for not appearing in court as ordered. For instance, if someone was unable to attend court due to illness or other circumstances, they could essoin their absence by providing a valid excuse.

Overall, essoin was an important part of the legal system in the past, allowing individuals to explain their absence from court and avoid further legal action.
