Forfaulture

/fɔːrˈfɔːltʃər/ noun

Definition

An archaic legal term referring to a loss of rights, property, or status due to wrongdoing; the state of being punished by forfeiture.

Etymology

From 'forfault' + '-ure' (a suffix creating nouns of state or condition). This extended medieval legal term built on 'forfault' to create a noun describing the condition of having suffered legal penalty and loss.

Kelly Says

Feudal England had layers of legal language for 'losing stuff'—'forfault,' 'forfaulture,' 'forfeiture,' 'forfeit.' Each word had subtle legal distinctions about WHO was punishing you and WHAT exactly you were losing, creating a taxonomy of loss.
