señoría

lordship, your honour

noun seh-nyoh-REE-ah Rare

Usage Note

Señoría is a formal title of address used for judges (su señoría, 'Your Honour') and, in Spain, for members of parliament (las señorías, a collective form of address in the Cortes). It should not be confused with señorío (lordship as a territory or the quality of being distinguished). The form su señoría is always third-person, even when addressing someone directly.

Examples

"Su señoría declaró nula la prueba presentada."

Natural Translation

Your Honour declared the presented evidence null.
