Did you know?...
...how the word
‘loophole’ came about?
It all began in the late Middle Ages. A loop was a narrow window in a castle that an archer could shoot
through, but so narrow that it made it almost impossible for his enemy to shoot
back through. This became the loophole.
Today the expression
'to find a loophole' simply means to find a forgotten condition in a
law,
agreement etc. that allows to interpret and get around another condition(s)
agreement etc. that allows to interpret and get around another condition(s)
