tenuren.

/ˈtɛnjʊə/

Forms: α. Middle English– tenure, (Middle English tenur, 1600s tenuer); β. 1500s tener, ten(n)or, 1500s–1600s tenour.

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman, Old French tenure (13th cent. in Godefroy) < earlier Old French teneüre (11–15th cent.), in medieval Latin tenitūra , tenetūra (c1200 in Du Cange), < tenēre to hold: see -ure suffix¹. Medieval Latin had also (from Old French) teneura , tenura (11th cent. in Du Cange). Old French had in same sense tenor , -our , teneur , apparently by some confusion with tenor n.¹, whence the β-forms in Middle English, etc. A further result of this use of tenor in sense of tenure in Old French and Middle English was that tenure was also used for tenor n.¹ and adj.: see the latter.

a. The action or fact of holding a tenement (esp. in English Law): see tenement n. 1.
