adjective more entailed · most entailed

  1. Having or resulting from a legal entail; pertaining to inheritance that is limited in descent to a particular class of issue. The role, therefore, which prevented the alienation of entailed estates being thus broken in upon, fines and recoveries became the common modes of assurance in conveying that species of property.
  2. That is required logically (by something); That has logical dependencies. Needless to say, the unexplained emergent phenomenon (and the entailed system whose functions can explain it) or the not-yet-existing artifact (and the system required for its construction) can itself be anything from a very simple to a very complex entity.
