Answer:
WRIT
Hint:
Not available
Explanation:
Order in the court" plays on the double meaning of "order." In a legal setting, a writ is a formal written order issued by a court, like a summons or injunction. The clue cleverly hints at this by framing it as a command ("order") within a courtroom, while also nodding to the idea of maintaining order—though the real trick is recognizing writ as the legal term. It’s a straightforward definition with a slight misdirection to keep solvers thinking.
