“entail” in Latin

[OBS. In the republic and under the earlier emperors, “almost every disposition restraining the power of alienation was prohibited by the Roman law; and such dispositions of the kind as it afterward allowed were created exclusively by testament or codicil, and in the circuitous and absurd manner of a fideicommissum” (Austin on Jurisprudence); i. e., A left the property to B, his fiduciarius, to be given to C, the fideicommissarius. The fideicommissarius might himself be bound to give the fideicommissum to a second fideicommissarius (Dict. of Antiqq., p. 420, b).] [OBS.

(Vid: OBS. on ENTAIL, s.)(Vid: OBS. on ENTAIL, s.), fidei committere (general term for leaving on trust), to which the condition must be annexed; e.g., *ut praedia ne alienentur: *ab eo, cui fundum legavimus, fidei committere, ut eum fundum post mortem suam majori natu filio, eadem lege, fideicommitteret (after quidam ab eo, cui fundum legaverat, fidei commiserat, ut eum fundum post mortem suam restitueret, Sempronio. Martian, lib. 30, leg. 111): *filium praedia alienare prohibere, sed conservare majori natu filio fideicommittere (after Scaev., Dig., lib. 32, leg. 36: pater filium praedia alienare probibuerat, sed conservare liberis ceterisque cognatis fideicommiserat).

IMPROPR., creare (to cause): derivare aliquid in aliquem (to cause it to flow down from us to him; with the notion, however, of getting rid of it one’s self): a aliquo ad aliquem venit hereditas (after Cic., cupiditatem ad multos improbos venit hereditas): *aliquid alicui quasi hereditate relinquere. To have entailed destruction on anything, alicui rei ultimam causam stetisse, cur periret funditus (poetically, Hor., Od., 1, 16). To entail anything on anybody, inde (or alicujus rei) ad or in aliquem redundat infamia. I will not by my crimes entail infamy on my children, *non committam, ut meorum viriorum ad liberos redundet infamia (after quorum [vifiorum] ad amicos redundat infamia, Cic.).
