A recommendation or counsel given by a competent or authoritative person as guidance in decision-making.

Etymology

Borrowed from Dutch 'advies' meaning 'advice' or 'counsel', which in turn derives from French 'avis' (opinion, view). The word entered Indonesian during the Dutch colonial period and was adopted in legal, administrative, and banking contexts to refer to an official recommendation from an authority or expert.
