   noun

   a wrongful injury or invasion of another person's legal rights

   The court distinguished measurable loss from injuria, the violation of a protected right.

Borrowed from Latin iniuria, 'injustice, wrong, or injury,' formed from in-, 'not,' and ius, iuris, 'right or law.' It is a learned doublet of injury and survives chiefly in legal phrases and legal theory.
