mesne lord
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: mesne lords
form: lord mesne
Etymology: Distinguishing the nature of the lord as intermediate (Old French mesne, "middle"), particularly as opposed to lords paramount and tenants-in-chief.
Senses: examples: text: Thus all the land in the kingdom is supposed to be holden, mediately or immediately, of the sovereign, who is styled the lord paramount, or above all. Such tenants as held under the crown immediately, when they granted out portions of their lands to inferior persons, became also lords with respect to those inferior persons, as they were still tenants with respect to the king; and, thus partaking of a middle nature, were called mesne, or middle, lords. So that if the king granted a manor to A., and he granted a portion of the land to B., now B. was said to hold of A., and A. of the king... A. was both tenant and lord, or was a mesne lord: and B. was called tenant paravail, or the lowest tenant; being he who was supposed to make avail or profit of the land.

snagging list
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: snagging lists
Etymology: From snagging (“the practice of checking for problems during construction work”), ultimately from snag (“a problem; something that causes delay”).
Senses: examples: text: Let the electrician know at the outset that you are keeping a snagging list. Then, if you spot, for example, a number of crooked sockets, some badly fitted covers, fittings that should really have been better placed, pendant lights that are& obviously too low, a chipped switch or a light that doesn't always work you switch it on, you have a couple of choices.
ref: 2004, Julian Bridgewater, Home Electrics, New Holland Publishers, →ISBN, page 22:
text: By this I mean, for example, that if the onus for preparing a snagging list lies with the contractor, he may only have to produce the list and demonstrate that he has cleared it, to demand the completion certificate.
