A quick definition of mesonomic:

Term: mesonomic

Definition: Mesonomic means that something you do may not make you physically free, but it can have legal consequences. This word was made up by a philosopher named Albert Kocourek in a book he wrote in 1927 called Jural Relations. It is different from another word, zygnomic.

A more thorough explanation:

Term: Mesonomic
Definition: Mesonomic refers to an action that doesn't take away a person's physical freedom but has legal consequences. This term was created by a philosopher named Albert Kocourek in his book Jural Relations in 1927. It is different from actions that directly affect a person's freedom, like being arrested or put in jail.
Examples: Signing a contract, breaking a law, or violating a rule at school are all mesonomic actions. These actions don't involve physical restraint, but they can have legal or disciplinary consequences. For instance, if you sign a contract and then break it, you might have to pay a fine or face legal action. If you break a school rule, you might get detention or suspension. These examples show how mesonomic actions can have real-world consequences even if they don't involve physical restraint.
