voir dire
''Voir dire'' () is a legal phrase that refers to a variety of procedures connected with jury trials. It originally referred to an oath taken by jurors to tell the truth ((ラテン語:verum dicere)), i.e., to say what is true, what is objectively accurate or subjectively honest, or both. It comes from the Anglo-Norman language.
The word ''voir'' (or ''voire''), in this combination, comes from Old French and derives from Latin ''verum'', "that which is true". It is not related to the modern French word ''voir'', which derives from Latin ''vidēre'' ("to see"), though the expression is now often interpreted by false etymology to mean "to see () say".
==Historic use==
In earlier centuries, a challenge to a particular juror would be tried by other members of the jury panel, and the challenged juror would take an oath of ''voir dire'', meaning to tell the truth.〔Blackstone's Commentaries, vol. 3 p. 364.〕 This procedure fell into disuse when the function of trying challenges to jurors was transferred to the judge.
