Etimology of Error
(You may find error at the world legal encyclopedia and the etimology of more terms).
also, through 18c., errour; c. 1300, “a deviation from truth made through ignorance or inadvertence, a mistake,” also “offense against morality or justice; transgression, wrong-doing, sin;” from Old French error “mistake, flaw, defect, heresy,” from Latin errorem (nominative error) “a wandering, straying, a going astray; meandering; doubt, uncertainty;” also “a figurative going astray, mistake,” from errare “to wander; to err” (see err). From early 14c. as “state of believing or practicing what is false or heretical; false opinion or belief, heresy.” From late 14c. as “deviation from what is normal; abnormality, aberration.” From 1726 as “difference between observed value and true value.” Words for “error” in most Indo-European languages originally meant “wander, go astray” (for example Greek plane in the New Testament, Old Norse villa, Lithuanian klaida, Sanskrit bhrama-), but Irish has dearmad “error,” from dermat “a forgetting.”
Meaning of Error in Spanish
Description/ translation of error into Spanish: error; harmless error (in the law of the United States/ en el derecho de los Estados Unidos): error inocuo, error inofensivo (el cometido durante un juicio que no influye en el sentido de la sentencia y que, por tanto, no puede fundamentar un recurso); harmless error standard: principio del error inocuo (es decir, el que no afecta a la marcha del proceso ni a su conclusión); harmful error: error perjudicial (el que influye en el sentido de la sentencia y es, por tanto, recurrible); plain error: error manifiesto (que además afecta decisivamente al sentido de la sentencia)[1]

English Legal System: Error
In the context of the English law, A Dictionary of Law provides the following legal concept of Error :
A mistake of law in a judgment or order of a court or in some procedural step in legal proceedings. A writ of error was formerly used to instruct an inferior court to send records of its proceedings for review by a superior court. It was abolished in civil cases by the Judicature Acts 1873-75 and in criminal cases by the Criminal Appeal Act 1907 and replaced by the modern system of *appeal.
