Law is a highly technical field, however, with its own specific terminology and phrases...word “usucaption” (or “acquisitive prescription”), for instance, which sounds like a made-up word to any English native speaker without a legal background, means acquisition of a legal right to do or own something after having used or held it for a legally prescribed length of time.
