WHAT DOES ULTIMOGENITURE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Ultimogeniture

Ultimogeniture, also known as postremogeniture or junior right, is the tradition of inheritance by the last-born of the entirety of, or a privileged position in, a parent's wealth, estate or office. The tradition has been far rarer historically than primogeniture, inheritance by the first-born; or partible inheritance, division of the estate among several children.
