An abbey or monastery; also, the lands belonging to an abbey or the office of an abbot (archaic or variant).
From Old French abbatie or Late Latin abbatia, variant spellings of abbey, emphasizing the landed property and jurisdiction of the monastery.
In medieval land records, abbatie specifically meant the entire property the abbey controlled—not just the building but the farms, forests, and villages around it!
