arrendation
|ar-ren-da-tion|
/əˌrɛnˈdeɪʃən/
the act of leasing
Etymology
'arrendation' originates from Medieval Latin and Old French, specifically Medieval Latin 'arrendatio' and Old French 'arrendement', where the verb 'arrender' meant 'to let' or 'to lease'.
'arrendation' changed from Old French 'arrendement' (meaning 'letting, lease') and Medieval Latin 'arrendatio' and eventually entered modern English as 'arrendation' in legal and historical usage.
Initially, it meant 'the act of letting or leasing', and over time it has retained that core sense, though it is now chiefly archaic or legal/technical.
