CIDE DICTIONARY
livery, n. [OE. livere, F. livrée, formerly, a gift of clothes made by the master to his servants, prop., a thing delivered, fr. livrer to deliver, L. liberare to set free, in LL., to deliver up. See Liberate.].
- The act of delivering possession of lands or tenements. [1913 Webster]" It is usual to say,
livery of seizin , which is a feudal investiture, made by the delivery of a turf, of a rod, a twig, or a key from the feoffor to the feoffee as a symbol of delivery of the whole property. There was a distinction oflivery in deed when this ceremony was performed on the property being transferred, andlivery in law when performed in sight of the property, but not on it. In the United States, and now in Great Britain, no such ceremony is necessary, the delivery of a deed being sufficient as alivery of seizin , regardless of where performed." [1913 Webster] - Release from wardship; deliverance. [1913 Webster]"It concerned them first to sue out their livery from the unjust wardship of his encroaching prerogative." [1913 Webster]
- That which is delivered out statedly or formally, as clothing, food, etc. [1913 Webster]"A Haberdasher and a Carpenter,
A Webbe, a Dyer, and a Tapicer,
And they were clothed all in one livery
Of a solempne and a gret fraternite." [1913 Webster]"From the periodical deliveries of these characteristic articles of servile costume (blue coats) came our word livery.""Now came still evening on, and twilight gray
Had in her sober livery all things clad.""The emperor's officers every night went through the town from house to house whereat any English gentleman did repast or lodge, and served their liveries for all night: first, the officers brought into the house a cast of fine manchet [white bread], and of silver two great pots, and white wine, and sugar.""What livery is, we by common use in England know well enough, namely, that is, allowance of horse meat, as to keep horses at livery, the which word, I guess, is derived of livering or delivering forth their nightly food." [1913 Webster]"It need hardly be observed that the explanation of livery which Spenser offers is perfectly correct, but . . . it is no longer applied to the ration or stated portion of food delivered at stated periods.""Pegasus does not stand at livery even at the largest establishment in Moorfields."
