Annexment

/əˈnɛksmənt/ noun

Definition

The act or process of annexing, or something that is annexed; an addition or attachment to a main structure.

Etymology

From annex plus the suffix '-ment' meaning the result of an action, from Latin 'annectere' meaning to bind, with Old French and Middle English development.

Kelly Says

Medieval land records meticulously documented every 'annexment'—each field, mill, or bridge added to an estate—because controlling territory meant controlling medieval wealth and power.
