admeasurement

Read a random definition: ubi aberat animus foenerandi

A quick definition of admeasurement:

Admeasurement is the process of measuring or assigning a fixed amount or value to something. It can also refer to a legal writ used to establish limits or recover property from someone who has taken more than their fair share. For example, if a ship's admeasurement is based on its crew, engine, and capacity, it means that those factors determine how much the ship can carry. Similarly, an admeasurement of dower is a legal writ used to recover property from a widow who has taken more than she is entitled to.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Admeasurement refers to the process of determining a fixed quantity or value, or establishing limits for something.

Example 1: The admeasurement of a ship is based on factors such as its crew, engine, and capacity. This means that the ship's size and capabilities are measured and assigned a specific value or limit.

Example 2: In the past, there was a legal writ called admeasurement of dower. This was used to recover property from a widow who held more than she was entitled to. It was a way to establish limits on how much property a widow could inherit.

Explanation: Admeasurement can be used in various contexts, such as measuring the size of a ship or determining the amount of property someone is entitled to. In both examples, a fixed quantity or limit is assigned to something, which helps to establish boundaries and prevent overuse or abuse.
