Autoritzó

Autoritzó is a term that appears in certain historical legal or administrative documents, particularly within the context of Catalan or Aragonese law. It is derived from the Latin word "auctorizare," meaning to authorize, empower, or give sanction to something. The word "autoritzó" itself is a past tense or past participle form, indicating that an authorization has been granted.

In practical terms, an "autoritzó" would signify a formal permission or license given by a competent authority. This could range from a king granting a privilege to a town, a lord giving consent for a transaction, or a court issuing a decree. The specific nature of the authorization would depend on the historical period and the document in which the term is found. Understanding "autoritzó" requires considering the legal and social structures of the time and place where it was used. Its presence suggests a hierarchical system where official approval was necessary for many actions and rights.
