An archaic or rare term for inheritance or heritage shared among co-heirs.
From co- (together) + heritage. This word combines French heritage with the 'co-' prefix to indicate collective inheritance, appearing sporadically in legal and genealogical texts from the 1400s onward.
This obscure word appears in medieval legal documents where multiple siblings inherit their parents' estate—it's basically the legal term for 'we all have to share this house, get along' written in fancy Old French.
