Black's Law Dictionary

Henry Campbell Black, M.A. · 1910

A term derived from the Latin "fldei-commissarius," and occasionally used by writers on equity jurisprudence as a substitute for the law French term "cestui que trust," as being more elegant and euphonious. See Brown v. Brown, 83 Hun, 160, 31 N. Y. Supp. 650.
