Black's Law Dictionary

Lat. I give, I say, I adjudge. Three words used in the Roman law, to express the extent of the civil jurisdiction of the prætor. Do denoted that he gave or granted actions, exceptions, and judices; dico, that he pronounced judgment; addico, that he adjudged the controverted property or the goods of the debtor, etc., to the plaintiff.

Mackeld. Rom. Law, § 39.
