eJustice has entered Turkish from the Arabic word ʿadāla(t) (عدالة), derived from the root ʿadl. This term originates from the Arabic verb ʿadala (عَدَلَ), meaning “to be equitable,” “to act moderately and equally,” and “to be just.” The word fundamentally encompasses the semantic fields of “upholding right,” “truthfulness,” and “equality,” and historically has been used in conjunction with both law and moral order.
