Someone who judges or makes judgments between two parties; a judge or arbiter in a dispute.
From Latin 'di-' (two) and 'judicant' (judging), derived from 'judicare' (to judge). This legal term emerged in medieval and early modern legal texts referring to judges handling disputes between parties.
In older legal systems, a dijudicant was specifically someone who could judge between opposing sides—the prefix 'di-' emphasized the two-sided nature of the dispute they were settling.
