Recipitur

Recipitur is a Latin term that translates to "it is received" or "it is taken." In legal contexts, it is often used as part of the phrase "res ipsa loquitur," which means "the thing speaks for itself." This legal doctrine applies in cases of negligence where the circumstances surrounding an accident are so clear that the negligence of the defendant is presumed, even without direct evidence. The occurrence of the accident itself is considered sufficient proof of negligence. For the doctrine to apply, the event must be of a kind that ordinarily does not occur in the absence of someone's negligence, and it must have been caused by an agency or instrumentality within the exclusive control of the defendant.

Beyond its legal application, "recipitur" can simply refer to the act of receiving or accepting something. This could be in the context of accepting a gift, a message, an offer, or any form of input. The term emphasizes the passive role of the recipient in the exchange. It signifies a conclusion to an action, where something is no longer in the process of being sent or given, but has instead arrived and been taken in by its intended destination or individual. The understanding of "recipitur" depends heavily on the specific context in which it is used, but its core meaning remains centered on the act of receiving.
