The practice of leasing land or property for rent, or a lease agreement itself, particularly in historical Spanish and Portuguese contexts.
From Spanish 'arrendación,' derived from 'arrendar' (to lease), itself from Latin 'ad' (to) and 'rendere' (to render or pay). The term reflects medieval property arrangements in Iberian regions.
