majoratn.

Brit.

/ˈmadʒərət/,

/ˈmaʒərɑː/, U.S.

/ˈmædʒərət/,

/ˈmɑʒəˌrɑ/

Origin: Either (i) a borrowing from German. Or (ii) a borrowing from French. Etymons: German Majorat; French majorat.

Etymology: < (i) German Majorat (1775), or its etymon (ii) French majorat (1701; earlier majorasque (1679)) < major elder (compare major adj.) + -at -ate suffix¹, after (with change of suffix) Spanish mayorazgo entailment of possessions upon the heir by primogeniture (c1370). The English word sometimes renders other loans from the Spanish word, e.g. Italian maggiorasco (1602; a1587 in form maiorasco), Russian majorat (earlier maiorat, < German or Latin). Compare post-classical Latin maioratus (16th cent. in this sense, probably also after Spanish). N.E.D. (1904) gives the pronunciation as (maʒora) /maʒora/.

Law.

In France, Spain, Italy, and some other countries: an entailment of an estate by primogeniture; an estate attached to the right of primogeniture.

1827 W. Scott in Foreign Q. Rev. 1 84 The principal part of the estate of the baron consisted in the Castle of R——sitten, a majorat, or entailed property, which gives name to the story.

1841 W. Spalding Italy & Ital. Islands III. 83 That restoration of hereditary aristocracy which was effected in France, took place in Italy likewise, by a decree of 1808, bestowing on the sovereign the power of conferring titles, and allowing the nobles so created to institute majorats, or devises of lands in favour of their eldest sons, or others whom they might select to transmit their honours.

1853 W. Whewell tr. H. Grotius De Jure Belli I. 379 The same rule holds with regard to the majorats in that kingdom [sc. Castile].
