Perjimus

Perjimus is a term that refers to the act of intentionally providing false information under oath, which is a form of perjury. The term is derived from the Latin word "perjurus," meaning "perjured," which is itself composed of "per-" meaning "through" or "completely," and "jurus" meaning "swearing." Perjury is a serious legal offense and is punishable by law in many jurisdictions. It is considered a form of fraud and can result in criminal charges, including fines and imprisonment. Perjury can occur in various contexts, such as court proceedings, depositions, or other formal statements made under oath. The consequences of perjury can be severe, including loss of credibility, legal penalties, and potential damage to one's reputation. To avoid perjury, it is essential to provide truthful and accurate information when required to do so under oath.
