e/a contrario argument/law و العكس/وبالعكس/و المقابل
Explanation: literally in Spanish and Italian: To the contrary.
A contrario est une locution latine qui qualifie un raisonnement dont la forme est identique à celle d'un autre, mais dont l'hypothèse et, par conséquent, la conclusion sont les inverses de celui-ci.
French Wikepedia.
translation:
is a latin expression describing a reasoning which form is identical to that of another, but of which the hypothesis, and therefore the conclusion too is contrary to that of the former.
Traditionally, the A Contrario argument is regarded as an ambiguous technique of justification. Consider the following legal provision: Underprivileged citizens are permitted to apply for State benefit. Now, are underprivileged stateless persons permitted to apply for the same benefit? Two different answers can be justified by means of the A Contrario argument. The first is: according to the law, only underprivileged citizens are permitted to apply for State benefit, so stateless persons are not. The second is: the law does not regulate the position of underprivileged stateless persons in this respect.
