     The patricians, then, sensu stricto, implied the old hereditary noble by birth; sensu lato, it included also the later noble by creation, properly, and sensu stricto termed ingenuus. In like manner, English heralds reckon four several qualities or degrees of gentility arising from a grant of coat armour. One who inherits a coat of arms from his father is styled a gentleman of birth; if he derive it from his grandfather, he is termed a gentleman of blood; and if he succeed to the same from his great-grandfather, or other more distant progenitor, he is entitled a gentleman of ancestry: if he obtain the grant himself, he is simply a gentleman of coat-armour.

     But the right of the occupant is not even inchoate. There is no specifically determinate party (existing or not) to take the right. It is nothing but a right that may accrue to everybody capable of taking, who may occupy.

2. (taxonomy) In the narrow sense (of a taxon). Added after a taxon to mean the taxon is being used in the sense of the original author, or without taxa which may otherwise be associated with it.
