oröklött

oröklött is a Swedish adjective that translates to "uninherited" or "undescended" in English. It describes something that has not been passed down through inheritance or lineage. This term can be applied in various contexts, but it is most commonly encountered when discussing property, titles, or personal characteristics that are not received from ancestors.

For instance, if a particular piece of land or a family heirloom was not left to a descendant by the previous owner, it could be described as oröklött. Similarly, if a person does not possess a trait or a genetic condition that was present in their family, that trait or condition can be considered oröklött in their case. The word emphasizes the absence of a direct transfer from one generation to the next. It stands in contrast to words like "ärvd" (inherited) or "släkt" (related).
