Definition
To involve something as a necessary or inevitable result or consequence.
Etymology
From Old French 'entailler' meaning 'to cut into', from 'en-' (in) plus 'tailler' (to cut). Originally a legal term referring to restricting inheritance of property to specific heirs, the general sense of 'involve necessarily' emerged in the 17th century.
Kelly Says
Entail beautifully captures how one decision can slice through the future like a blade, carving an inevitable path forward. The legal origins remind us that consequences, like inheritance laws, often bind us in ways we never anticipated when we first acted.

Ethical Language Guidance
Gender History
Entail was a legal mechanism restricting inheritance to male heirs, explicitly designed to keep property in patrilineal hands and prevent women's economic autonomy.
Inclusive Usage
Use descriptively for historical contexts; avoid using 'entail' to imply gender-predetermined outcomes in modern systems.
Inclusive Alternatives
["require","involve","necessitate"]
Empowerment Note
The abolition of entail laws (19th-20th centuries) was crucial to women's property rights; suffragists fought fiercely for this reform.
