A person who has the legal right to use or enjoy the profits from property they don't own; similar to fructuarius.
From Latin fructuarius, combined with English suffix -y. Refers to one who receives the 'fructus' or fruit/benefit of property without ownership.
The fructuary is a medieval and Roman legal invention—it's what you become when someone gives you an orchard's fruit for life but keeps the land itself. This split between ownership and benefit was so important that it survived from Roman times through medieval Europe into modern property law.
