Yes, it's gruesome isn't it. I forget if it was you were going to die paying it off to the land holder? Something like that in the old days.

Yes I did know that.

Lot of connections when you look at the Latin roots to common words.  And many of the legal and scientific terms stay close to their Latin origins.

I did not know that, but now that you've mentioned it, mort is the French word for dead. Here in NC it's technically a deed of trust.

I love etymology. I almost went for a masters degree with this course of study. Unfortuately I moved to a ski town for the summer and never looked back. It was Telluride. I also turned down a college teaching job to stay and play and climb peaks and mountain bike.

Pay your obligation til you die!   Ask God for forgiveness......

Many do not want to pay taxes expect their heirs to pick up the tab....
