Definition
The act or process of removing property from one place to another, especially to avoid legal action.
Etymology
From 'eloin' plus the suffix '-ment,' indicating an action or result. This archaic legal term was most common in Middle English and Early Modern English.
Kelly Says
This word is so old-fashioned that it barely appears in modern English, but it survives in dusty law books as a reminder of how carefully medieval courts had to track stolen animals and hidden goods.
