English term
Annexure vs Annex
English
Law/Patents
Law: Contract(s)
contract
I see the term annexure for the first time of my career. I can't find it in any dictionary (legal and general). I'm assuming it just means annex, but I'd like to be sure. Is there a subtle difference between the two terms (legally speaking). Paradoxically lots of googles for annexure but none of them to clarify the matter.
Please help,
TIA

Some history behind. No claim for points ....
annex : The werb annex enterd E. about a century and a half before the noun. It came from French annexer, which was formed from the past participial stem of Latin annectere 'tie together' ( a verb annect, borrowed directly from this, was in learned use in E. from the 16th to the 18th centuries). Annectere itself was based on the verb nectere 'tie', from which E. also gets nexus and connect. The noun was borrowed from French annexe, and in the sense 'extra building' retains its -e. ( Dictionary of Word Origins by John Ayto )
annexus (annecto) spojovani, spojeni (Latin-Czech dict. ) = to connect...
" A medical certificate is enclosed, marked as annexure "A".
