Puisne
Puisne (; from Old French puisné, modern puîné, "later born, younger" (and thence, "inferior") from late Latin post-, "after", and natus, "born") is a legal term of art obsolete in many jurisdictions and, when current, used mainly in British English meaning "inferior in rank". In the 18th and 19th-century legal world, the word was more often pronounced to distance it from its anglicized form puny, an adjective meaning "weak or undersized".
