not suitable for court
Etymology
'non-justiciability' originates from the prefix 'non-' meaning 'not' and 'justiciability,' which comes from Latin 'justiciabilis,' meaning 'capable of being judged.'
'non-justiciability' evolved from the legal term 'justiciability' by adding the prefix 'non-' to indicate the absence of judicial suitability.
Initially, it meant 'not capable of being judged,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern legal usage.
