Brit. /pəːˈprɛstʃ(ʊ)ə/, U.S. /pərˈprɛstʃər/
Forms:

α. Middle English purpresser, Middle English 1600s–1700s pourpresture, Middle English–1500s purprestour, Middle English– purpresture, 1600s purprestor; Scottish pre-1700 pourprestour, pre-1700 puireprestur, pre-1700 pureprestor, pre-1700 purprestour, pre-1700 purprestris (plural), pre-1700 purprestur, pre-1700 pvrprestvre, pre-1700 1700s– purpresture.

β. Middle English preposture, Middle English prespecture, Middle English purposture, 1500s prepestur, 1500s purpesture.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymons: French purpresture, pourpresture.
Etymology: < Anglo-Norman purpresture and Middle French (Normandy) pourpresture illegal enclosure of or encroachment on land or property belonging to another person or to the public (c1240 or earlier in Anglo-Norman), payment or rent due to a feudal superior for permission to enclose or build on land (1331 in Middle French), further etymology uncertain. Compare post-classical Latin porprestura , proprestura , purprestura encroachment (frequently 1086–1539 in British sources), enclosure (late 12th cent.), which occurs earliest in forms in pur- , suggesting that it is itself after the French word (and hence also implying earlier currency in French). The French word probably ultimately shows a remodelling (perhaps after prester to put (a thing) at a person's disposal: see prest v.1) of Middle French (Tournai) pourprissure enclosure (1347; c1180 in Old French as porpresure in sense ‘place occupied by an object’; < porpris (see purprise n.) + -ure -ure suffix1); compare also post-classical Latin purprisura, pourprisura enclosure (1195, 1293 in French sources; < Old French).The β. forms probably simply show transmission errors.
Law.
1. An illegal enclosure of or encroachment upon land or property belonging to another or (now only) to the public; an appropriation of land or property for private purposes.Purpresture often affects roads, public waterways, etc., or, esp. in the earlier period, royal, manorial, or common lands. In that period the offence was often not prosecuted but instead a rent was levied (cf. sense 2).
