From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) [bouvier]:

  NISI. This word is frequently used in legal proceedings to denote that 
  something has been done, which is to be valid unless something else Shall be 
  done within a certain time to defeat it. For example, an order may be made 
  that if on the day appointed to show cause, none be shown, an injunction 
  will be dissolved of course, on motion, and production of an affidavit of 
  service of the order. This is called an order nisi. Ch. Pr. 547. Under the 
  compulsory arbitration law of Pennsylvania, on the filing of the award, 
  judgment nisi is to be entered: which judgment is to be as valid as if it 
  had been rendered on the verdict of a jury, unless an appeal be entered 
  within the time required by the law.
