/ʤɜːˈmeɪn/ – Adjective
Definition: 1. có quan hệ họ hàng gần;
2. có liên hệ chặt chẽ;
3. thích đáng, tính thích hợp.
A more thorough explanation: In legal English, the word “germane” means relevant or pertinent to the matter at hand. It is often used to describe evidence, arguments, or information that is directly related to the issue being discussed or decided upon in a legal context.
Example: The evidence presented by the defense was not germane to the case and was therefore deemed inadmissible by the judge.
