Titolo: real estate

Qualcuno sa spiegarmi perché si dice 'real' estate. E da cosa deriva la
parola 'estate'? Ogni volta che lo leggo mi viene in mente 'estate
autentica'.

Oh my God!  Non ha niente a che fare con l'estate. Estate (ah solo ora noto
che le due parole sono identiche!) ha vari significati: terreno, proprieta',
eredita' ecc.  Real estate significa: beni immobiliari (penso si dica cosi'
in italiano), cioe' terreni, case, palazzi, appartamenti, ecc......  Real
estate agent e' un agente immobiliare (qui praticamente un individuo ogni
tre) ciao Arianna

Arianna,
...ehm,
credo che Massimo volesse conoscere l'origine del termine, avendone già
presente il significato. Forse che abbia origini spagnole?
L'ho buttata lì...

Oltre a tutto questo Massimo si chiedeva il perché dell'aggettivo 'real'...
si chiamano beni reali (in accezione analoga a 'diritti reali') anche in
italiano, dal latino 'res', cosa tangibile.

Riporto la spiegazione di 'real' suggeritami da Francesca, australiana, con
la quale abbiamo disquisito sulla tua richiesta.
As to the question on "real" estate, this is actually demands a legal
definition.  "Real" property is to be distinguished from a "chose in
action".  That is, "real" property is something that is "physically"
existent.  It is usually used to refer to land and buildings.  Whereas, a
"chose in action" does not exist as a physical thing.  It refers to
financial transactions which deal with property or other contractual
undertakings, such as mortgages, leases, agistments, easements, debt,
contract.
