1. ANNUITYnoun

   Etymology: annuité, Fr.

   1. A yearly rent to be paid for term of life or years. The differences between a rent and an annuity are, that every rent is going out of land; but an annuity charges only the granter, or his heirs, that have assets by descent. The second difference is, that, for the recovery of an annuity, no action lies, but only the writ of annuity against the granter, his heirs, or successors; but of a rent, the same actions lie as do of land. The third difference is, that an annuity is never taken for assets, because it is no freehold in law; nor shall be put in execution upon a statue merchant, statute staple, or elegit, as a rent may.

   John Cowell.

   2. A yearly allowance.

   He was generally known to be the son of one earl, and brother to another, who supplied his expence, beyond what his annuity from his father would bear. Edward Hyde.

1. Annuity

   In investment, an annuity is a series of payments made at equal intervals. Examples of annuities are regular deposits to a savings account, monthly home mortgage payments, monthly insurance payments and pension payments. Annuities can be classified by the frequency of payment dates. The payments (deposits) may be made weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly, or at any other regular interval of time. Annuities may be calculated by mathematical functions known as "annuity functions". An annuity which provides for payments for the remainder of a person's lifetime is a life annuity.

1. annuity

   An annuity is a financial product that pays out a fixed stream of payments to an individual over a defined period of time. It is primarily used as an income stream for retirees. Annuities are created and sold by financial institutions, which accept funds from an individual and agree to pay back principal and interest payments to that individual at a later point in time. Those payments can be scheduled monthly, quarterly, annually, or a lump sum. There are two main types of annuities: immediate and deferred. Immediate annuities begin payments immediately upon investment, while deferred annuities begin payments at a future date.

1. Annuity

   an-nū′i-ti, n. a payment generally (but not necessarily) of uniform amount falling due in each year during a given term, such as a period of years or the life of an individual, the capital sum not being returnable.—n. Annū′itant, one who receives an annuity.—Certain annuity, one for a fixed term of years, subject to no contingency whatever; Contingent annuity, one that depends also on the continuance of some status, as the life of a person whose duration is calculated by the theory of probabilities. An annuity is usually held payable to the end of each year survived; but when, in addition, a proportion of the year's annuity is payable up to the day of death, the annuity is said to be Complete—the ordinary annuity being sometimes, for distinction, referred to as a Curtate annuity. When the first payment is due in advance, the annuity is known as an Annuity due; when the first payment is not to be made until the expiry of a certain number of years, it is called a Deferred or Reversionary annuity.
