单词 shortford
释义

shortfordn.

Etymology: Appears in medieval Latin and Anglo-Norman documents as sortfort, shortford, shartfort, shatford, schotford; of obscure origin. It is noteworthy that in the Statutum de Gaveleto in London (probably 13th cent.) a tenement forfeited to the lord ‘for default of service’ is said to be designated by a term which appears under the various forms forshard , forshot , forthot , forsshott (the early printed editions have forschoc , forchoc , forschoke ): see Stat. of the Realm (Record ed.) I. 222 and Liber Albus (Rolls) I. 63, 469. Some of these forms look like transpositions of the syllables of shortford , shartfort , etc.; but it is possible that they arose from progressive corruption of Anglo-Norman forclot = forclos past participle of forclore to foreclose v.
Law. Obsolete.
An ancient process by which the lord could obtain possession of a tenement when the tenant had failed to render the services due, and there were no effects on which a distraint could be levied.
ΘΚΠ
society > law > administration of justice > general proceedings > legal seizure or recovery of property > [noun] > seizing lands or goods > resumption by overlord
