Sac

SAK.

An ancient privilege, which a lord of a manor claimed to have in his court, of holding plea in causes of trespass arising among his tenants, and imposing fines touching the same. A term which seems to mean a cause or matter before a court what in later Latin was termed placitum. Soc seems to have the same meaning. It is apparently derived from a word which means seeking; 1 Holdsw.
