| Back | adjective Of or relating to land or its products. ["Predial" is used for land matters; for example, there's "predial tax" (real estate tax) or "predial larceny" (stealing crops from the fields). The state of Louisiana employs "predial" in numerous sections of its Civil Code (and is distinguished from other states by its use of the word). The word derives from the Latin noun for "landed property," "praedium." "Praedium" in turn is based on "praed-," meaning "bondsman" -- that is, one who is legally liable for the debt of another.] "Agrarian outbreaks, in many places, assumed the aspect of a predial war." - Johnson Rossiter; The Great Events by Famous Historians; 1905. |
