jurado

/xuˈɾado/ · A2 · adj

juror, juryman, juryperson

⚖️ jurar = to swear, so jurado = sworn: a juror is one who took the oath

From Latin iurare (to swear), from ius (law), the same root as English jury, juror and jurisdiction. A jurado is literally a sworn person, which is why it covers both a court juror and a contest judge.
