Mainour is a term primarily used in English law and medieval legal systems to describe the act of wrongfully taking or stealing another person's property. The term is derived from the Old French word "mainours," which means "stolen goods" or "loot." It refers to the act of taking possession of someone else's property without their consent and with the intention of permanently depriving them of its ownership.
In legal contexts, mainour is often associated with acts of theft, burglary, or other forms of property offenses. It is considered a serious offense and is punishable by law. The term is closely related to the more commonly used term "larceny," which refers to the unlawful taking and carrying away of another person's property. Mainour is often used to specifically denote the act of taking stolen goods from the immediate possession of another person.
Mainour may also be used more broadly to refer to the actual stolen property itself, particularly in historical or literary contexts. In such cases, it signifies the value or worth of the stolen goods. Additionally, the term may be used metaphorically, outside the legal realm, to allude to the act of wrongfully appropriating or misusing something that rightfully belongs to someone else.
The word "mainour" has its roots in Old French. It is derived from the phrase "manouver prendre", which means "to take in one's hand" or "to take possession of". In English, this turned into "mainprise", which referred to the act of taking something into one's custody or possession. Over time, "mainour" emerged as a specific legal term used in English common law to describe property or goods that were taken or stolen and held as evidence in criminal cases.
