Determinate
(redirected from determinacy)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.04 sec.

DETERMINATE. That which is ascertained; what is particularly designated; as, if I sell you my horse Napoleon, the article sold is here determined. This is very different from a contract by which I would have sold you a horse, without a particular designation of any horse. 1 Bouv. Inst. n. 947, 950.
