contenement

Read a random definition: annua pensione

A quick definition of contenement:

Contenement is a word that has two meanings. The first meaning is about land. It is a type of land that a person owns and uses to support themselves. This type of land was protected by a law called Magna Carta, which said that it could not be taken away from the owner. The second meaning of contenement is about a person's reputation or standing in the community. This meaning comes from the word "countenance" which means how people see and think about you. So, contenement can mean the good reputation that a person has because of their land ownership.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Contenement (kən-ten-ə-mənt) is a historical term that refers to freehold land held by a feudal tenant, especially land used to support the tenant. This property was exempted from seizure by Magna Carta.

Example: A farmer who rented land from a lord would also have a small piece of land that he owned outright. This land was his contenement and could not be taken away from him, even if he owed money to the lord.

Explanation: The example illustrates how contenement was a form of protection for tenants who relied on the land to support themselves. By owning a small piece of land, they had some security and could not be completely at the mercy of their landlord.

Definition: Contenement can also refer to a person's reputation or standing in the community, which may be rooted in the ownership of land.

Example: In medieval times, a knight's contenement would include not only his land but also his armor, weapons, and other possessions that contributed to his status and reputation.

Explanation: This example shows how a person's possessions and status were closely tied to their ownership of land. A knight's armor and weapons were not just practical tools but also symbols of his social standing and power.

One manager came in sick wearing a mask, got roasted and stopped wearing it that day. The entire office has been cycling sickness for two weeks now. It may not be super effective but it may help in slowing the spread during meetings when we have to be so close
