\Ap*pur"te*nance\, n. [OF. apurtenaunce,
apartenance, F. appartenance, LL. appartenentia, from L.
appertinere. See {Appertain}.]
That which belongs to something else; an adjunct; an
appendage; an accessory; something annexed to another thing
more worthy; in common parlance and legal acceptation,
something belonging to another thing as principal, and which
passes as incident to it, as a right of way, or other
easement to land; a right of common to pasture, an outhouse,
barn, garden, or orchard, to a house or messuage. In a strict
legal sense, land can never pass as an appurtenance to land.
