Thank you.

reasons

Explanation:
...if not simply "causa" (as you have already considered).

Black's Law Dictionary (8th edition) has this to say about "causa":

"One of the vaguest terms of the Roman juristic language. Starting from the basic meaning of cause, reason, inducement, the jurists use it in very different senses... Causa is the reason for which some judicial measures (actions, exceptions, interdicts) were introduced by the praetor [...]. Sometimes causa is roughly identical with animus when it alludes to the subjective motive, intention, or purpose of a person." -Adolf Berger, Encyclopedic Dictionary of Roman Law 382-83 (1953).
