E—Execute (Post 1 of 2)

Despite already having this waiting for Day 5 "E" ... I really want to write about edit instead of execute. But execute is a spinoff of yesterday's post. I think I'll do two. But instead of writing much about the executing of legal documents, I'll just leave what I had here.

What is an executor? One who executes the instructions of legal documents. There is a specific role in the estates of deceased persons (and other roles in other types of documentation are similar), but I'm thinking of it in general: one who executes or carries out the documented wishes of the one who created the paperwork.

execute* (verb) ˈek-si-ˌkyüt 

transitive verb

1 : to carry (something) out fully : to put (something) completely into effect

2 : to do what is provided or required by (something)

3 : to put (someone) to death especially in compliance with a legal sentence

4 : to make or produce (something, such as a work of art) especially by carrying out a design

5 : to perform what is required to give validity to (something)

6 : perform

7 (computing) : to cause a system to perform the tasks indicated by (encoded instructions)

intransitive verb

1 : to perform properly or skillfully the fundamentals of a sport or of a particular play

2 (of computer code) : to cause a system to perform indicated tasks

*"execute." Merriam-Webster.com. (31 March 2025).
