per stirpes
1680年代，拉丁语，“按家族，按家族； ”在法律用途中，用于继承等，与 per capita 相对。参见 per- + stirpes。
[A]pplied to succession when divided so as to give the representatives belonging to one branch the share only that their head or ancestor would have taken had he survived. Thus, in a gift to A and the children of B, if they are to take per capita, each child will have a share equal to that of A; but if they are to take per stirpes, A will take one half and the other half will be divided among the children of B. [Century Dictionary]
“当继承被分开以便只给予属于一个分支的代表人物他们的头或祖先如果他还活着将会得到的份额时，就会应用这个术语。因此，在赠与 A 和 B 的孩子的礼物中，如果他们要 per capita，每个孩子将获得与 A 相等的份额； 但如果他们要 per stirpes，A 将获得一半，另一半将分配给 B 的孩子。”[世纪词典]
