Legal Definition and Related Resources of Tenendum
Meaning of Tenendum
(Lat.) That part of a deed which was formerly used in expressing the tenure by which the estate granted was holden; but since all freehold tenures were converted into socage, the tenendum is of no further use, even in England, and is therefore joined to the habendum in this manner, to have and to hold. The words “to hold” have now no meaning in our deeds. 2 BL Comm. 298. See “Habendum.”
