What does CHOSE mean in Scrabble?
noun
legal
In law, a chose is a thing capable of being owned, especially a personal right of property such as a debt or a right of action.
Lawyers divide personal property into a chose in possession, meaning a tangible object that can be physically held, and a chose in action, meaning an intangible right, such as a debt or a right to sue, that can only be enforced through legal action. The word comes from French and is unrelated to the verb choose despite the identical spelling; in this legal sense it is pronounced differently, closer to shohz. It survives mainly in the fixed legal phrase chose in action.
How CHOSE is used
A specialist legal term, almost always appearing in the fixed phrase chose in action rather than alone.
- A debt owed to a company is a chose in action.
- The lawyer explained the difference between a chose in possession and a chose in action.
- Shares in a company are treated in law as a chose in action.
- The contract assigned the chose to a third party.
