A more thorough explanation:

Inductio

Inductio is a term used in Roman law to describe the act of removing a writing or part of it. This can happen when someone changes their will and decides to remove a legacy that they had previously included.

For example, if someone had written in their will that they wanted to leave their car to their nephew, but then changed their mind and decided to leave it to their sister instead, they would need to perform an inductio to remove the original legacy from the will.

Another example could be if someone had written a letter to a friend, but then decided that they didn't want to send it after all. They could perform an inductio by erasing the letter or tearing it up.

These examples illustrate how inductio is used to remove a writing or part of it, and how it was used in Roman law to make changes to legal documents like wills.
