From the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania:
Legal Doublets: Once Is Not Enough

In a Facebook post, Merriam-Webster offers an interesting explanation of “legal doublets.” You know what they are, and you’ve used them:
• Cease and desist
• Null and void
• Aid and abet
• Free and clear
• Ways and means
Such constructions, Merriam-Webster explains, date back to 1066 and the Norman conquest of England. The Norman nobility spoke French, and the common people spoke English. The double constructions were intended to clearly communicate in words with origins in both languages. For instance, “breaking and entering” arose from the English term “breaking” and the French “entering”; “will and testament” from the English “will” and French “testament.” In a similar vein, “attorney” has French origins while “lawyer” has roots in English.

Some may find this arbitrary and capricious, but we think it’s all well and good.
