Etymologically the term nugatorio comes from the Latin “nugatorius”. This word is used to define a deceptive situation, a fraud, disappointment. When an individual is in a nugatory situation, it is because they have been the victim of a deception, in which they seek to be untrue without the person being able to realize it directly and clearly. It is important to note that frequently the person to whom the nugatory act is directed is being manipulated by the scammer, so that he falls into the sham. On many occasions this action can be carried out for malicious purposes, or to make someone suffer, on other occasions a nugatory situation is used to prevent the person from going through the suffering of knowing the truth of a situation.
When the individual realizes that what he believed or thought was not true, he begins to experience a feeling of disappointment, disappointment is a characteristic of a nugatory event, when the individual does not see his expectations fulfilled, it begins to be generated inside emotions such as surprise and grief. When you experience disappointment, frustration is triggered and this in turn leads to depression.
The definitions that are commonly used as synonyms for this word are disappointment and frustration, which precisely allow us to indicate the negative impact that an individual suffers from the situation of observing how what they wanted and expected does not happen or is interrupted. In the context of law, a nugatory act is an action that invalidates a legal act.
