Evidence for the origin explanationHigh
The headword, definition, and source-language spelling in the 2004 collection were compared. The original older articles re-quoted there were not directly opened, so their dates were not used for firstSeen. The first coinage and spread remain unverified. This abbreviates an organization name of the time related to judicial reform; it does not establish whether the organization still exists.
