The act of creating a fideicommissum or trust; the establishment of property to be held and transferred according to the terms of the trust.
From Latin 'fideicommissio' (the act of entrusting), derived from 'fideicommittere' (to entrust in faith). The '-ion' suffix indicates an action or process.
Fideicommission shows how Romans turned abstract ideas like 'trust' into legal procedures—the very concept of putting property 'in trust' comes directly from this Latin word.
