From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Tenure \Ten"ure\, n. [F. tenure, OF. teneure, fr. F. tenir to
      hold. See {Tenable}.]
      1. The act or right of holding, as property, especially real
            estate.
  
                     That the tenure of estates might rest on equity, the
                     Indian title to lands was in all cases to be
                     quieted.                                             --Bancroft.
  
      2. (Eng. Law) The manner of holding lands and tenements of a
            superior.
  
      Note: Tenure is inseparable from the idea of property in
               land, according to the theory of the English law; and
               this idea of tenure pervades, to a considerable extent,
               the law of real property in the United States, where
               the title to land is essentially allodial, and almost
               all lands are held in fee simple, not of a superior,
               but the whole right and title to the property being
               vested in the owner. Tenure, in general, then, is the
               particular manner of holding real estate, as by
               exclusive title or ownership, by fee simple, by fee
               tail, by courtesy, in dower, by copyhold, by lease, at
               will, etc.
  
      3. The consideration, condition, or service which the
            occupier of land gives to his lord or superior for the use
            of his land.
  
      4. Manner of holding, in general; as, in absolute
            governments, men hold their rights by a precarious tenure.
  
                     All that seems thine own, Held by the tenure of his
                     will alone.                                       --Cowper.
  
      {Tenure by fee alms}. (Law) See {Frankalmoigne}.

                  incredible.
