An alibi is a common defense used during a criminal trial when the accused suggests they were in a different location when the crime was committed. But what is the Latin word's literal translation in English?

The term alibi is derived from the Latin root "alibi," which translates as "excuse." When you provide an alibi, you are presenting evidence - a verified explanation - that you have not committed the crime in question.
