Disheritment

/dɪsˈhɛrɪtmənt/ noun

Definition

The act, process, or state of being deprived of an inheritance; disinheritance.

Etymology

From 'disherit' plus the suffix '-ment' (from Old French '-ment,' from Latin '-mentum,' indicating state or condition). This legal noun formed in English to describe both the action and the resulting status of someone without inheritance rights.

Kelly Says

Medieval legal documents used 'disheritment' as a formal term, and it carried such weight that it was often announced publicly in churches—the social consequences were as severe as the financial ones.
