The term pricina, sometimes spelled prycina, means "the consequence of an action." It is often used in the legal context to discuss a cause and effect relationship. Knowing what action resulted in another action is important to fully understanding a situation or a legal case.

For example, in a criminal trial, the Pricina must be established to determine if the accused is guilty of the crime. If the defendant can be tied to the crime, then the pricina can be established and the judgment rendered.

Another example is a civil lawsuit. When a party is suing another, the pricina for the lawsuit must be established. This involves determining the facts of the case that led to the complaint in the first place.

Finally, pricina can also be used in business or financial contexts. Here, it usually involves determining cause and effect relationships between different investments or strategies and their resulting profits or continued losses.
