ekzekutuar

Ekzekutuar is a term derived from the Albanian language and directly translates to "executed" in English. It most commonly refers to the act of carrying out a death sentence, meaning a person has been put to death as a legal punishment. This can be done through various methods recognized by a legal system, such as lethal injection, hanging, or firing squad.

The concept of execution as a form of punishment has a long and varied history across different cultures and legal traditions. In some societies, it has been a prevalent penalty for a wide range of crimes, while in others, its use has been more limited or abolished altogether. The debate surrounding capital punishment, or the death penalty, is ongoing globally, with arguments focusing on its effectiveness as a deterrent, issues of justice and retribution, and concerns about irreversible errors.

In a broader, non-legal context, "ekzekutuar" can sometimes be used metaphorically to describe the forceful and definitive completion of a task or plan, though this usage is less common than its primary meaning related to capital punishment. The act of execution implies a finality and an irreversible outcome.
