emphyteusis
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Pronunciation: /ɛmfɪˈtjuːsɪs/
Forms: form: emphyteuses
Etymology: From Latin emphyteusis, from Ancient Greek ἐμφύτευσις (emphúteusis, “tenure of a type of leasehold”).
Senses: examples: text: The term “emphyteusis” first appeared late in the twelfth century. It remained a rather artificial term, appearing in official documents but rare in leases themselves until the later thirteenth century. It clearly meant a long-term lease but lawyers expended a certain amount of energy trying to relate emphyteusis to other categories of usufruct (ius in re aliena). Opinion divided, broadly speaking, between those who regarded emphyteusis as resembling normal establishments of peasants by lease, and those who saw an emphyteutic tenure as a sort of fief.

Language: English

Pronunciation: ipa: /pɹɪˈzɛntətɪv/
ipa: /pɹəˈzɛn(t)ətɪv/

Forms: form: presentatives
Etymology: The adjective is derived from Late Latin praesentativus (“that presents for consideration”) + English -ive (suffix signifying belonging or relating to, of the nature of, serving to, or tending to, forming adjectives). Praesentativus is from Latin praesentātus (“presented, exhibited, or shown”) + -īvus (suffix forming adjectives); while praesentātus is the perfect passive participle of praesentō (“to present, exhibit, or show”), from praesēns (“at hand, present; existing; immediate; prompt; propitious; (grammar) present”) (the present active participle of praesum (“to be before something; to be in charge of; to command, lead; to preside or rule over”), from prae- (prefix meaning ‘before, in front; in charge’) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *preh₂- (“before; in front”)) + sum (“to be, exist, have”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₁es- (“to be”))) + -tō (frequentative suffix). The English word is analysable as present + -ative.
The noun sense (“construct that serves to present something, or draw it to the attention of the interlocutor”) is derived from adjective sense 3 (“serving to present something, or draw it to the attention of the interlocutor”).
