Noun[edit]
pretium affectionis
- (law) Sentimental value.
- 1825, James Mill, Jurisprudence:
- The greater number of injuries are those which concern property. A pecuniary value can generally be set upon injuries of this sort; though it is not very easy to determine the pretium affectionis, a matter of considerable importance, which the English law, so much made up of clumsiness in one part, and false refinement in another, wholly overlooks.
