   syn: to bequeath, devise.

   usage: both these words denote the giving or disposing of
          property by will. devise, in legal usage, is property
          used to denote a gift by will of real property, and he
          to whom it is given is called the devisee. bequeath is
          properly applied to a gift by will or legacy; i. e.,
          of personal property; the gift is called a legacy, and
          he who receives it is called a legatee. in popular
          usage the word bequeath is sometimes enlarged so as to
          embrace devise; and it is sometimes so construed by
          courts.
