We are all probably familiar with this term, but I still have no idea what does it really mean. I’ve read two books by the author Franz Kafka, the guy who was the origin of this very term. I tried looking online, searching for definitions and stuff, but I still have no idea what was that all about, nobody explained it clearly. I wanted to find a simple definiton with an example, but I found pile of text. Maybe they need all that “extra” stuff to explain it because it is not very simple, I guess. Can it be explained in a few words, if so please do it and if not, I will go through the long version, too. Thank you.
Edit: Thank you, I went through your comments, they were really helpful.

I’ve usually seen it used in a way best described by “the trial” by Kafka. In it a man learns that he has been on trial and is being judged against laws the he isn’t aware of and no one will tell him.
I usually see it used when someone is being victimized by the justice system with ever changing criteria. Like you jump through one hoop and there is another right after with different rules.
