GAGES Meaning and
Definition
-
Gages, a plural noun, refers to pledges or guarantees given as security for the fulfillment of a contract or the payment of a debt. The term often relates to tangible objects or possessions that are placed as collateral in order to ensure the commitment of the debtor. The primary purpose of gages is to offer some form of assurance to the creditor that they will ultimately receive repayment or compensation.
Historically, gages were commonly used in medieval times to secure loans or contracts by offering up valuable items, such as land, livestock, or jewelry. These items would be retained by the creditor until the debtor fulfilled their obligations, acting as a form of tangible security. In modern usage, gages have evolved to include various assets, such as vehicles, property deeds, stocks, or bonds, that can be used as collateral.
Furthermore, gages can also refer to a means of measurement or a unit of gauge. This usage is often seen in scientific or engineering contexts where precise measurements or dimensions are required. In these cases, gages are instruments or tools used to determine or confirm the accuracy, size, or thickness of objects.
In summary, gages are the physical, financial, or contractual assets offered as security to guarantee the fulfillment of an obligation or the payment of a debt. They provide reassurance to creditors and grant them rights over the pledged assets until the agreed-upon terms are met.
