juste

1. justly, fairly, righteously

From Old French juste, in this form probably borrowed from Latin iūstus, jūstus, from Proto-Italic *jowestos, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂yew-. The Old French form just may have been inherited, however, and perhaps later modified based on the Latin.

1. Synonym of schysst

Said in SAOL and SO to lean more towards fair and honest compared to schysst, and to mean according to the rules in sports, though "juste tackling" (fair tackle), given as an example, is rarer than "schysst tackling" when comparing Google hits. Somewhat obscure and likely to be understood as a pure synonym of schysst by many native speakers.
