- Etimologicamente, a palavra direito é oriunda do latim directum, particípio passado de dirigere (dirigir, [co]mandar); procede de regere (reger, governar), verbo que, por sua vez, vem da raiz sânscrita rgu ou rj (conduzir), identicamente a rgugu (honesto, honrado), mais o prefixo di, originário das raízes dh e dhr, que dão idéia de firmeza, estabilidade.
- Etymologically, the word direito comes from Latin directum, past participle of dirigere (to drive, to mand); it comes from regere (to rule, to govern), verb which, in turn, comes from the Proto-Indo-European root rgu or rj (to conduct), identically to rgugu (honest, honoured), plus the prefix di, from the roots dh and dhr, which give the notion of firmness, stability.
