- To alienate — To alienate, transfer, or estrange a property, asset, or right from a patrimony through sale, donation, or legal assignment. In a psychological and sociological sense, the verb expresses the act of distancing, isolating, or causing a loss of mental clarity, leading to a state of self-estrangement, altered mental faculties, or separation from a social group, culture, or environment.
- Alienable — Capable of being alienated, transferred, sold, or legally assigned from one patrimony to another. In civil law, this adjective describes the legal status of most assets within the private commercial circuit, indicating that the owner possesses the full prerogative of legal disposition over them, as opposed to inalienable assets (such as public state property).
- Transferor — A physical or legal person who alienates, transfers, or legally assigns an asset or right from their patrimony (synonymous with transferor). In a sociological or psychological sense, the term describes a factor, environment, or behavior that alienates, meaning it causes the isolation of the individual, loss of self-identity, or alteration of a person's mental faculties.
- Alienated — Having been legally alienated or transferred from a patrimony; an individual suffering from a severe mental disorder (insane, mentally alienated) or a person who is isolated, detached from social realities or from themselves. As a noun, the term was historically used in medicine to designate psychiatric asylum patients, and currently describes cultural estrangement.
- Plot amalgamation — The act of attaching or the state of being attached; a close structural joining of two elements using an adhesive, welding, or mechanical fixation.

- Appropriated — Having been appropriated, claimed, or turned into private or exclusive property; a concept, asset, or territory structurally assimilated by an individual or collective.

- Leased — Having been leased or taken into temporary exploitation in exchange for a periodic payment called rent or lease; an immovable asset (especially agricultural lands, estates, ponds, or pastures) managed on the basis of a legal lease agreement.

- Lessor — A natural or legal person who leases an asset (especially agricultural land) to someone in exchange for a lease payment; the lessor in a lease agreement.

- Leasing out — The act of leasing out and its result; a legal, administrative, and economic process through which an immovable asset (especially arable land, an estate, a pond, or a pasture) is ceded for temporary exploitation to a third party in exchange for a periodic payment. In a structural legal sense, it represents a bilateral synallagmatic contract transferring usufruct and leasehold possession, leaving the bare ownership with the original lessor.
