white rent
white rent n. [probably a variant of quit-rent n., with reanalysis of the first element as white (compare forms in whit- at quit adj.)] now historical = quit-rent n.; spec. (in Devon and Cornwall) a rent or duty of eight pence a year payable by every tin miner to the Duke of Cornwall.The association with silver money found in some of the quotation evidence and in N.E.D. (which has as its definition ‘rent payable in silver money’, with cross-references to sense A. 2b and blackmail n. 2) is likely to reflect folk etymology.
