de-facto
含义: In fact, whether by right or not; existing or holding a position in practice though not necessarily ordained by law.
De facto is used to describe situations that exist in practice, regardless of whether they are legally or officially recognised. It contrasts with 'de jure' (by right or law). Common in legal, political, and business contexts, it collocates with 'leader,' 'standard,' 'ruler,' 'ban,' and 'segregation.' In Australian English, it is also used as a noun to mean an unmarried partner.
