Definition
an archaic or obsolete term for inheritance or that which is inherited; heritage.
Etymology
Old French 'heritance', later form of 'heritage'. This is a Middle English variant that eventually fell out of use in favor of 'heritage' and 'inheritance'.
Kelly Says
Medieval English had multiple overlapping words for basically the same thing—'heritance,' 'heritage,' 'inheritance'—which is why modern English speakers find medieval documents so confusingly repetitive!
