A member of a jury.

noun

  1. 1

    A member of a jury.

    While unfailingly courteous to the jury, he could be quite sharp with counsel and witnesses, and rattle his sabre at the press: his first reported words in the case were that any journalist thinking of interviewing a juror 'had better bring a toothbrush'.

    The jurors listened carefully while Eidem portrayed Fern Sankey as an archconspirator who drove her husband into crime and was intimately involved in all major details of Charlie Boettcher's abduction.

Etymology

From Middle English jurour, jurrour, borrowed from Anglo-Norman jurour and Old French jureor, from the verb jurer (“to swear”), or possibly from Latin iūrātor, iūrātōrem, whence the English doublet jurator.
