A quick definition of satisdare:
Satisdare: A word from Roman law that means to give security through a surety. This security is given by a person, like a debtor, to ensure that they will fulfill their obligations. It comes from the Latin words satis, meaning "sufficient," and dare, meaning "to give."
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: Satisdare (sat-is-dair-ee) is a Latin term used in Roman law. It means to give security in the form of satisdatio. Satisdatio is security given by a person, such as a debtor, through a surety.
Example: If a person owes money to another person, they may be required to provide satisdatio as security. This means that they must find someone who is willing to act as a surety and provide a guarantee that the debt will be paid. The surety may be required to provide a sum of money or other assets as collateral.
Explanation: The example illustrates how satisdare and satisdatio were used in Roman law to provide security for debts. By requiring a surety to provide a guarantee, the creditor could be assured that the debt would be paid even if the debtor was unable to pay. This helped to reduce the risk of lending and encouraged commerce and trade.
