letters patent

From letters patents (archaic), from Late Middle English lettres patentes, lettres patent (“document or documents granting a privilege, power, or right, making an appointment or decree, etc.”) [and other forms], from Anglo-Norman lettres patentes (the plural of lettre patente), from Latin litterae patentēs, the plural of littera patēns (so called because they were written on open sheets of parchment), from littera (“letter”) + patēns (“accessible, open”) (the present active participle of pateō (“to be accessible or open; to be clear or evident”), from Proto-Indo-European *peth₂- (“to spread out; to fly”)). The English term is analysable as letters + patent (“open, unconcealed; (archaic) open to public perusal”).

From Middle English heier apparaunt, a calque translation of Middle French héritier apparent, hence the unusual order of adjective following noun.

Coordinate term: heiress apparent

[…] for Mary, though perfectly resolved against ever attaching herself to a younger brother again, was long in finding among the dashing representatives, or idle heir apparents, who were at the command of her beauty, and her 20,000l. any one who could satisfy the better taste she had acquired at Mansfield, whose character and manners could authorise a hope of the domestic happiness she had there learnt to estimate, or put Edmund Bertram sufficiently out of her head.

1814 May 9, [Jane Austen], chapter XVII, in Mansfield Park: […], volume III, London: […] [George Sidney] for T[homas] Egerton, […], →OCLC, page 345:

LeBron James, heir apparent to MJ’s throne, seems on paper like a dream trade—he stole plenty of laughs in Trainwreck a few summers ago.

2021 July 14, A. A. Dowd, “Space Jam: A New Legacy is one big, witless commercial for Warner Bros. properties”, in The A.V. Club:

(usually monarchy) Someone who will definitely inherit if surviving the one whose property is to be inherited.

fundamental right

en-noun

fundamental right (plural fundamental rights)

While the term itself occurs often enough in the 17th century already, it isn’t always with the same meaning and it is problematic to trace how it became a set term. While usage in the United States is an independent development, its codification in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union is surely owed to German Grundrecht, already occurring in the Frankfurt Constitution. The drafting of the Constitution of India containing fundamental rights follows temporally close to, and not without motivational nexus, after the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany, which included fundamental rights. The Constitution of Bangladesh, containing fundamental rights and the Constitution of Nepal containing fundamental rights in translation followed the neighbour’s example much later.

Synonym of human right, sometimes with subtle differences.
