requisits

Requisits refers to things that are required or essential for a particular purpose. In English, the more common form is requisites or requirements; requisits is a less common, sometimes historical or regional variant, and may appear as a spelling mistake in modern texts. The core idea behind requisits is that a set of conditions, documents, qualifications, or steps must be fulfilled before a goal can be pursued or a status granted.

In practice, requisits arise in multiple domains. In education, a course may have prerequisites or requisites that must be completed before enrollment. In law and administration, the legal capacity to act, eligibility for benefits, or the validity of a transaction can depend on specified requisites, such as identity documents, permissions, or filings. In employment, requisites may denote required experience, certifications, or language proficiency. In computing, system requisites or requirements specify the hardware and software needed to run an application.

Originating from the Latin requisitus, via French and older English usage, requisits is part of the same family as requisites and requirements. The term emphasizes a mandatory set of conditions rather than a mere suggestion. When writing, prefer the widely used form requisites or requirements; reserve requisits for contexts where the variant is customary or historically appropriate.
