Etymology
An Itala and Vulgate morphological calque from Ancient Greek to mirror the proportion (κατα)κληρονομέω ((kata)klēronoméō) :: κληρονομίᾱ (klēronomíā). Like the Greek verb itself, sometimes translating Hebrew יָרַשׁ (“to drive out, occupy, rob, inherit, expel, ruin”). Formally hērēditās + -tō, with haplology for the expected *-itātitō.

354 CE – 430 CE,
Aurelius Augustinus Hipponensis,
Enarrationes in Psalmos 110-118:
- Nōnnūllī ūnō verbō volentēs dīcere, quod ūnō verbō in Graecō positum est, hērēditāvī interpretātī sunt. Quod etsī Latīnum esse posset, magis significāret eum, quī dedit hērēditatem, quam eum, quī accēpit; ut sīc esset 'hērēditāvi', quōmodo 'dītāvī'. Melius ergō duōbus verbīs īnsinuātur integer sēnsus
- Some have translated this as 'hereditavi' since in the Greek version it's a single word. Although this could be a Latin word, it would rather mean the person who gave the inheritance than the person who received it, so 'hereditavi' "I made heir" like 'ditavi' "I enriched". Therefore it's best to use two words so that the correct meaning is expressed
- Synonyms: hērēditātem adeō, capiō, possideō; hērēditāte accipiō, acquīrō
- to make heir
- to give inheritance
