primogenituren.

Brit.

/ˌprʌɪmə(ʊ)ˈdʒɛnᵻtʃə/, U.S.

/ˌpraɪmoʊˈdʒɛnəˌtʃʊ(ə)r/

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French primogeniture; Latin primogenitura.

Etymology: < Middle French, French †primogeniture (French primogéniture ) right of the first-born child (late 14th cent. or earlier in Middle French), fact or condition of being a first-born child (first half of the 15th cent. or earlier) and its etymon post-classical Latin primogenitura right of the first-born child (5th cent.; frequently from 12th cent. in British sources, also denoting the fact or condition of being a first-born child (c1225 or earlier in British sources in this sense)) < primogenitus primogenit n. + classical Latin -ūra -ure suffix¹, after classical Latin genitūra geniture n. Compare Catalan primogenitura (late 14th cent. or earlier in sense 1a; 1341 in uncertain sense), Spanish primogenitura (late 13th cent. or earlier in sense 3, c1400 or earlier in sense 1a), Portuguese primogenitura (14th cent. as primogenytura in sense 1a), Italian primogenitura (a1342 in sense 1a).Sense 2, which is apparently not paralleled in Latin or the Romance languages, probably represents a transferred use of sense 1a. With right of primogeniture n. at sense 1b compare French droit de primogéniture (late 15th cent. or earlier in Middle French as droict de primogeniture).

a. The fact or condition of being the firstborn child in a family.
