Remember This
The root is related to judging and judgment. Judiciousness comes from judging well; it is not the same as 'justice' but shares the same Latin root.

Note
Judicious describes careful, prudent decision-making and wise choices. Do not confuse with 'judicial' in legal contexts; use 'judicial' for matters related to courts, and 'judicious' for wise, prudent judgment.
