/kwɑzi/ – Latin phrase
Definition: hầu như, gần như, dường như, chuẩn, y như thế.
A more throughout explanation: In legal terms, “quasi” is a Latin term meaning “as if” or “almost.” It is often used to describe something that has similarities to another thing but is not exactly the same. In legal contexts, “quasi” is used to indicate that something has a resemblance or similarity to a particular legal concept or category, but may not fit precisely within that category.
Example: The court found that the defendant had a quasi-contractual obligation to compensate the plaintiff for the services rendered.
