Definition
A co-heir; one of several people who inherit an estate or property together.
Etymology
From co- (together) + inheritor. This legal term developed in Middle English from Old French coheritier, used in inheritance law to denote joint heirs.
Kelly Says
In medieval England, when a nobleman had multiple daughters and no son, they all became 'coheritors'—which created amazing legal puzzles about who got which castle, leading to some of history's bloodiest feuds.

Gender History
Latin masculine form; implies male heir as default. Related to coheir terminology with gendered assumptions embedded in Romance morphology.
Inclusive Usage
Use gender-neutral 'coheir' or 'joint heir' in modern contexts. 'Coheritor' is archaic; avoid unless quoting legal history.
