to give, take seisin
b. The phrases to give, take seisin are sometimes used with special reference to the symbolical acts called livery of seisin (see livery n. Scottish). Hence, in popular language, seisin has been occasionally applied loosely to the object (e.g. a turf, a key, a staff) handed over in ‘livery of seisin’ as a token of possession.
