In terrorem: This is a Latin phrase that means "in order to frighten". It is used as a warning or threat to someone. For example, a demand letter may be sent in terrorem to warn someone of the consequences of not complying with a request. However, it does not necessarily mean that the person sending the letter intends to take legal action.
