Etymology

The term 'indefeasibly' originates from the Latin word 'defasare' which means 'to annul or make void'. The prefix 'in-' denotes negation, while 'defeasible' comes from 'defeasable', meaning capable of being annulled. This word entered the English language through legal contexts, primarily during the late Middle Ages, when property law was becoming more sophisticated and precise. Essentially, it has been adopted into legal terminology to signify rights and titles that are not subject to being invalidated, resonating in property law, contract law, and similar fields. The use of the term has persisted due to the increasing complexity of legal frameworks and the necessity for clear and unambiguous legal terminology.
