noun expropriations
- The act of expropriating; the surrender of a claim to private property without material compensation; the act of depriving oneself of private propriety rights. c. 1648, Walter Montagu, Devout Essaies. The soul of man then is capable of a state of much peace and equanimity, in the exterior bands and agitations; but this capacity is rather an effect of the expropriation of our reason, then a vertue resulting from her single capacity.
