Conversation

Did you hear about the case of the fugitive?

Yeah, I heard he was extraditable back to his home country.

It's crazy how some crimes can make you extraditable like that.

I know! It really shows how serious the law can be in different places.

Root Explanation

Extraditable → It is formed from "extra-" (meaning outside) and "dare" (from Latin, meaning to give). The word refers to something that can be given or handed over from one jurisdiction to another, particularly in legal contexts.

Memory Tip

Think of something that can be 'given' ('dare') from 'outside' ('extra-') — that's why extraditable means it can be handed over to another legal authority.
