Nisi

“Nisi” is a Latin term that conveys the meaning of “unless” or “except.” This word is often used in legal and formal contexts to introduce exceptions or conditions that must be satisfied for a statement or rule to apply. For instance, consider the sentence: “Nisi the defendant can prove their innocence, they will be convicted.” Here, “nisi” suggests that the defendant will be found guilty unless they can prove their innocence.
