单词 messuage
释义

messuagen.

Brit. /ˈmɛswɪdʒ/, U.S. /ˈmɛswɪdʒ/
Forms: Middle English–1600s mesuage, Middle English– messuage, 1500s meswage.
Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French messuage.
Etymology: < Anglo-Norman messuage, mesuage holding, dwelling house (late 13th cent.), probably < post-classical Latin messuagium , mesuagium (frequently from late 12th cent. in British sources), probably ultimately a derivative (perhaps via a Romance reflex) of mansio or mansus (see manse n., mansion n.). Compare Old French (Normandy) masuage property for which an annual rent is paid (c1290), post-classical Latin mansuagium (from late 12th cent. in British sources).A connection with post-classical Latin mansura (see masure n.) is not now normally considered likely.
Originally: a portion of land occupied, or intended to be occupied, as the site for a dwelling house and its appurtenances. In later use (chiefly Law): a dwelling house together with its outbuildings and the adjacent land assigned to its use.capital messuage: see capital adj. 6b.
