remancipate

Verb

remancipate (third-person singular simple present remancipates, present participle remancipating, simple past and past participle remancipated)

1. To return to a previous owner or the one who was previously in charge.
   • 'Fiducia' is an agreement of trust, whereby the transferee in a mancipatio undertakes to divest himself of the ownership which has been conveyed to him, and more especially — in certain circumstances — to remancipate the thing he has received.1892, Rudolf Sohm, The Institutes of Roman Law, page 34
   • The hostile argument is easily constructed: a mancipation to remancipate is at best merely a temporary arrangement, at worst a fraudulent collusion; and a remancipation after a mancipation is evidence in itself of an agreement and obligation to remancipate.1988, The Irish Jurist - Volume 23, page 122
