单词 adiate
释义

adiatev.

Brit. /ˈadɪeɪt/, U.S. /ˈædiˌeɪt/, South African English /ˈædieɪt/
Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element; apparently modelled on a Dutch lexical item. Etymons: Latin adīre , -ate suffix3.
Etymology: Irregularly < classical Latin adīre to approach, to come into (an inheritance) (see adient adj.) + -ate suffix3, apparently after Dutch †adiëren (1735; Afrikaans adieer ), itself originally formed after aditie (see adiation n.). Compare the older Dutch legal terms aangaan to accept (an inheritance) (1631 in the passage translated in quot. 1845), specific use (now disused) of aangaan to begin, to undertake, literally ‘to go towards’ (Middle Dutch aengaen , also in sense ‘to take possession’) and aanvaarden to undertake, to take possession of, literally ‘to travel towards’ (Middle Dutch anevaerden , aenvaerten ). Compare slightly earlier adiation n.
Law (chiefly South African).
transitive. In Roman-Dutch law: to accept (an inheritance) as an heir or (in South Africa) a beneficiary of a will.
ΘΚΠ
society > law > transfer of property > testamentary disposition > bequeath by will [verb (transitive)] > accept as beneficiary of will
