† contenementn.

Etymology: < Old French contenement (medieval Latin contenementum ), < contenir to contain v., etc.

Obsolete.

A word occurring as a rendering of contenementum in Magna Carta, as to the exact meaning of which divers explanations have been offered. The meaning is perhaps simply ‘Holding, freehold’ (Godefroy has two instances of French contenement in this sense); but some take it in the wider sense ‘Property (of any kind) necessary to the freeman for the maintenance of his position’.
