Etymology

The term 'lessee' originated from the Old French word 'lesse' which means 'someone who lets or leases'. It has been used in English since the 15th century to refer to a person who holds a lease of property. The concept of leasing property has a long history dating back to ancient civilizations where land was leased for agricultural purposes. Over time, the legal framework around leasing has evolved to protect the rights of both lessors and lessees.
