WHAT DOES USUFRUCT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Usufruct

Usufruct is a property right, deriving from roman law, that unites the two rights of usus and fructus: ▪ Usus is the right to use or enjoy a thing possessed, directly and without alterating it. ▪ Fructus is the right to derive profit from a thing possessed: for instance, by selling harvest, renting real estate or devices, taxing for entry... Usufruct is either titled to another person or held in common ownership, as long as the property is not damaged or destroyed. The third property right of roman law is abusus, the right to alienate the thing possessed, either by consuming or destroying it, or by transferring it to someone else. Someone enjoying all three rights would have full property. In many usufructory property systems, such as the traditional ejido system in Mexico, individuals or groups may only acquire the usufruct of the property, not legal title.

Definition of usufruct in the English dictionary

The definition of usufruct in the dictionary is the right to use and derive profit from a piece of property belonging to another, provided the property itself remains undiminished and uninjured in any way.
