entailed

Required as consequence

Entailed is the past tense of entail, meaning to involve as a necessary consequence or requirement: The job entailed long hours and frequent travel.

It emphasizes what something necessarily brings with it—the costs, duties, or complications that come attached to a situation or decision.

In legal contexts, entailed property is restricted to a specific line of heirs.
