Read a random definition: mootness doctrine

A quick definition of divisa:

Divisa: A divisa is a word that comes from the French word "diviser" which means "to divide". It has three meanings. Firstly, it refers to the division of goods by a will. Secondly, it is a boundary that separates neighboring lands. Lastly, it is a court held on such a boundary to settle disputes between tenants.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Divisa (di-vI-zə), n. [from French diviser "to divide"]

  1. A division of goods made by a will; a devise.
  2. A boundary between neighboring lands.
  3. A court held on such a boundary to settle disputes between tenants.

Examples:

  • When their father passed away, the siblings had to divide his estate according to his divisa.
  • The divisa between the two farms was marked by a row of trees.
  • The tenants on either side of the divisa had a disagreement about who was responsible for maintaining the fence.

The first example illustrates the first definition of divisa, which refers to the division of goods by a will. The second example illustrates the second definition, which refers to a boundary between neighboring lands. The third example illustrates the third definition, which refers to a court held on such a boundary to settle disputes between tenants.
