Definition
A legal term from French law referring to a half-year or a person who owes half a year's worth of obligation or service.
Etymology
From Old French 'heminée', derived from 'hemine' (half-year), ultimately from Latin 'semis' meaning half. Used in medieval and feudal legal systems.
Kelly Says
Medieval people had to keep track of complicated tax obligations and service duties that were paid in portions throughout the year—'heminee' was the legal word for someone in the middle of their yearly obligation!
