lawful relocation
Etymology
'legally-moved' originates from the English word 'legal,' which comes from the Latin word 'legalis,' meaning 'pertaining to the law,' and 'move,' from the Latin 'movere,' meaning 'to change position.'
'legal' changed from the Old French word 'legal' and 'move' from the Old French 'mover,' eventually becoming the modern English words 'legal' and 'move.'
Initially, 'legal' meant 'pertaining to the law,' and 'move' meant 'to change position.' The combined term 'legally-moved' retains these meanings, emphasizing lawful relocation.
