Correality

/kɔ.riˈæl.ə.ti/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being jointly responsible or liable with another person; a legal relationship of shared accountability.

Etymology

From 'correal' plus the suffix '-ity', forming an abstract noun that codifies the legal concept of shared or mutual liability in formal language.

Kelly Says

Correality captures something interesting about medieval and early modern law: the idea that people could be so connected that they shared the same obligations, almost like legal Siamese twins!
