appanage
Prince's granted estate
Appanage originally meant land or income granted to a younger royal child who wouldn't inherit the throne.
The word now applies more broadly to any rightful accompaniment or perquisite that comes with a position or status: Power and its appanages—wealth, influence, deference.
Also spelled apanage.
