A quick definition of pays:

Term: PAYS

Definition: Pays refers to two different things. In Law French, it means the country or a jury. In Roman law, patria means a person's home area or fatherland. It can also refer to a specific area within a country, like a county or neighborhood. In historical contexts, patria can also mean a jury, like when a defendant "puts himself upon the country."

A more thorough explanation:

Pays (pay or pays), n. [Law French] refers to the country or a jury. In Roman law, patria (pay-tree-uh or pa-tree-uh) means a person's home area or fatherland. It can also refer to the country or a specific area within it, such as a county or neighborhood. In historical context, patria can also refer to a jury, as when a defendant "puts himself upon the country" (ponit se super patriam).

  • When the defendant "puts himself upon the country," he is relying on the decision of the patria or jury.
  • The concept of patria was important in Roman law, where it referred to a person's home area or fatherland.
  • In historical context, patria could also refer to a specific area within a country, such as a county or neighborhood.

These examples illustrate how pays and patria can refer to both a country and a jury, and how patria can also refer to a person's home area or a specific area within a country.

Someone told me a while ago that I was probably molested as a kid because I don’t really have any clear memories of my childhood. But I don’t think I was.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
