See also:ESTOVERS (from the O. Fr. estover, estovoir, a verb used as a substantive in the sense of that which is necessary; the word is of disputed origin; it has been referred to the See also:Lat. stare, to stand, or studere, to See also:desire) , a See also:term, in See also:English See also:law, for the See also:wood which a See also:tenant for See also:life or years may take from the See also:land he holds for repair of his See also:house, the implements of husbandry, and the hedges and fences, and for firewood . The O . Eng. word for estover was See also:bole or See also:boot (literally meaning " See also:good," " profit," the same word as seen in " better ") . The various kinds of See also:estovers were thus known as house-bote, See also:cart or plough-bote, hedge or See also:hay-bote, and See also:fire-bote respectively . These rights may, of course, be restricted by See also:express covenants . |
