Acquisita

/ækˈwɪzɪtə/ noun

Definition

Latin plural noun meaning things acquired; a legal or formal term for acquired items or possessions.

Etymology

From Latin acquisita (feminine plural of acquisitus, past participle of acquirere), preserved in English legal and formal writing.

Kelly Says

Like 'acquirenda,' this is Latin embedded in English formality. Medieval monks and Renaissance lawyers loved these terms—they made ordinary things sound grand and permanent.
