One who makes a gift. One who gives lands in tail. Termes de la Ley. DONUM (Lat). A gift. The difference between donum and munus is said to be that donum is more general, while munus is specific. Munus is said to mean donum with a cause for the giving (though not a legal consideration), as on account of marriage, etc. Donum is said to be that which is given from no necessity of law or duty, but from free will, "from the absence of which, if they are not given, no blame arises; but if they are given, praise is due." Vicat, Voc. Jur.; Calvinus, Lex.
