Annerre

/ænˈɛər/ verb

Definition

An archaic or rare term meaning to put into or assign to an estate or territory.

Etymology

From Old French 'anearer' or similar root, potentially from Latin 'annere' meaning to bind or attach to, combined with the prefix 'an-'.

Kelly Says

This word is so obscure that even most historical linguists would struggle to use it—it represents the kinds of feudal legal terms that were essential in medieval Europe but vanished from everyday speech.
