Definition

"Forensic" is derived from the Latin forensus, meaning "of the forum." In ancient Rome, the forum was where governmental debates were held, but it was also where trials were held -- it was the courthouse. So forensic science has come to mean the application of the natural and physical science to the resolution of matters within a legal context. - John Thornton -
