"Real Estate" is derived from "royal" (The word royal?and its Spanish cognate real?come
from the related Latin word rex-regis, meaning king. For hundreds of years the Royal family King owned the land, and the peasants paid rent or property taxes to be on the Royal's land. Today, just like hundreds of years in the past, we pay property taxes, or rent to be on the government's land or the Royal Estate).
Boing!
