Definition
Capable of being inherited or passed down from an ancestor to a descendant, usually used in legal contexts about property or titles.
Etymology
From Latin descendere + -ible suffix (variant of -able). Medieval and modern legal terminology for determining what could be transferred through inheritance.
Kelly Says
Medieval lawyers obsessed over which possessions were 'descendible'—some titles stayed with the family line, others went to the church, and disputes over this determined the fate of kingdoms.
