prétériter

Romand term of legal origin, probably created by notaries, from Latin praeterire. First attested in 1864, meaning "to omit" and "to make an exception". (See Dictionnaire suisse romand by A. Thibault, edited by P. Knecht, with collaboration of G. Boeri and S. Quenet, Éditions Zoé, 1997, as well as Parler suisse, parler français by Gl. Artès, Éditions de l'Aire, 1994.)
