Etymology
The word appurtenant comes from the Latin parts ad- ('to') and pertinere ('to belong' or 'to relate'), and it shares the same idea as the English word pertain. So something appurtenant is an extra thing that 'belongs to' or supports something else, like a shed or a parking right that belongs to a house.
