appurtenance
Subordinate accompanying item
An appurtenance is something that belongs to or goes with something else—an accessory, adjunct, or attachment.
The word appears most often in legal contexts, where it refers to rights or property that pass with a piece of land: The deed conveyed the house and all its appurtenances.
In general use, appurtenances are the accompanying items or trappings of something: the appurtenances of wealth.
