A quick definition of sors:

Term: sors

Definition: Sors is a Latin word that has different meanings depending on the context. In Roman law, it means a chance or a lot. In Scots law, it refers to the capital of a partnership. In history, it can mean the principal amount recovered in a legal action, as opposed to just the costs.

A more thorough explanation:

Sors is a Latin term that has different meanings depending on the context. It can refer to:

  1. A lot or chance in Roman law. For example, in ancient Rome, people would draw lots to determine who would get a certain prize or punishment.
  2. The capital of a partnership in Scots law. For example, if two people start a business together, they might each contribute money to the sors or capital of the partnership.
  3. The principal amount recovered in a legal action, as opposed to just the costs. For example, if someone sues another person for damages, the sors would be the amount of money awarded to the plaintiff.

Examples:

  • In ancient Rome, soldiers would draw lots to determine who would get the best weapons and armor.
  • When two friends start a business together, they might each contribute $10,000 to the sors or capital of the partnership.
  • If a person wins a lawsuit and is awarded $50,000 in damages, the sors would be the $50,000, not any additional costs associated with the legal action.

These examples illustrate how sors can have different meanings depending on the legal or historical context in which it is used.
