copihold.
In English law
A tenure or holding of manor lands by copy of court-roll, originally a holding at the will of the lord, according to the custom of the manor, — a tenure of pure villeinage; but it has gradually been divested of its slavish incidents, so that it cannot now be determined without cause or against custom.
