Alienees

/ˌeɪliəˈniz/ noun

Definition

Plural of alienee; multiple persons who receive property or rights transferred to them.

Etymology

Plural form of alienee, formed with the standard English plural suffix -s.

Kelly Says

Medieval property records list multiple alienees—sometimes an entire monastery would be one alienee receiving land from a nobleman, showing how property rights worked very differently than today's individual ownership.
