Definition
Something that is fixed or fastened in place, especially a piece of equipment or furniture attached to a building.
Etymology
From Latin 'fixus' meaning 'fastened' combined with the suffix '-ure' indicating a state or condition. The word evolved in Middle English to describe objects permanently attached to property.
Kelly Says
In legal and real estate terms, determining whether something is a 'fixture' or 'personal property' matters enormously—a chandelier might be a fixture (stays with the house) or moveable (you can take it), and this distinction has sparked countless property disputes!
