legal context

The term 'entailed' is often used in legal settings, particularly in relation to property law. It refers to a situation where a property or estate is restricted, and its inheritance is limited to specific heirs. This concept creates a lineage of ownership that cannot be altered without breaking the entailment. Such legal stipulations often serve to keep property within a family line over generations, ensuring it does not get sold or divided among multiple heirs. The term may also appear in discussions about obligations or actions that are inevitable consequences of something.

Synonyms

implied, included, involved, necessitated.

Examples of usage

  • The estate was entailed to his eldest son.

Etymology

The word 'entailed' is derived from the verb 'entail', which originates from Middle French 'entailer', meaning 'to carve or cut into'. This term was adapted in English during the late 15th century, primarily regarding land and property inheritance. It has roots in the legal traditions of property law, where it describes a method of limiting inheritance rights. The concept has evolved, but it has remained closely tied to legal and succession matters. In essence, 'entailed' signifies a condition that compels certain outcomes based on predetermined criteria, reflecting both its literal and figurative implications in legal language.
