Definition: | From 14th Century Latin certificare meaning literally "to give permission, suffer in dispute/contention". From Latin certo = "to contend, settle, dispute, to settle by combat" and facio= "to give permission / to experience, suffer (troubles)". In modern legal terms, "a document containing a certified statement, or evidencing ownership or debt". |
