or regulations, that are issued by an executive body under authority granted by a statute. Depending on the legal system, a statute may also be referred to as an "act."

Etymology

The word appears in use in English as early as the 14th century. "Statute" and earlier English spellings were derived from the Old French words statut, estatut, estatu, meaning "(royal) promulgation, (legal) statute." These terms were in turn derived from the Late Latin statutum, meaning "a law, decree."
