Etymology

The word 'entail' originated from the Old French word 'entailer', which meant 'to cut into' or 'to notch'. The term was originally used in a legal context to refer to the restriction of property inheritance. Over time, its meaning expanded to include the idea of involving something as a necessary consequence, as seen in its use in linguistics.
