Lat. In English. A term anciently used in pleading, where a thing was described both in Latin and English; the Latin word being first given, and then the English, preceded by the word Anglice, thus: Quare cepit decern velamina, Anglic6 coifs; pileum, Anglic6 a cap; quatuordecem eolores, Anglic6 neck-bands; cruralia, Anglic^ garters, <fec. Sti 126. Toums. PL 16, 101. De quadam ripa, Anglic6 a dam. Hob. 193. The pleadings in actions were formerly in Latin, that the records might be kept forever without changing; and therefore it was necessary that there should be proper Latin words to express the cause of action, or a proper periphrasis, or a proper Latin description containing sufficient certiunties; but if there were no proper Latin words to express the thing, it was sufficient to form the word under a Latin termination, (or, in other words, to coin a Latin word,) and explain it by an AnglicL So, where the Latin word was equivocal, and signified more things than one, it might be fixed down by an AnglicL Gilb. Com. Fleas, 126. And it was a rule that an AnglicS, (which was but a videlicet, or "that is to say,") should never exceed the Latin. Hob, 1 72 a.
