Question

writ n.令状 (1) 警察进屋前，给他出示了搜查令。(2) 这家公司因违约已接到法院令状。(3) 债权人可以获得逮捕债务人的令状。 The word writ has been around since before the twelfth century and was first used to describe a written document needed to have a case heard at the royal courts of England during the Middle Ages. Nowadays, the king is most likely no longer involved, but this word still refers to a legal document issued by a court of law. A writ contains a written order instructing someone to do something or to stop doing something. If you ever need to give out a writ, remember that the verb to serve is typically used to describe the issuing of a writ — as in “Tony was served with a writ on Monday.”
