Seemingly but not actually; in some sense; resembling; nearly, Black's Law Dictionary, 7th Edn., p. 1257.Means a Latin word frequently used in the civil law, and often prefixed to English words. It is not a very definite word. It marks the resemblance, and supposes a little difference, between two object, and in legal phraseology the term is used to indicate that one subject resembles another, with which it is compared, in certain characteristics, but that there are also intrinsic and material differences between them.

And such estate may also be granted with a remainder thereon during the life of the cestui que vie; and the alienation of the quasi tenant-in-tail will bar not only his issue, but those in remainder. The alienation, however, for that purpose (unlike that of an estate-tail, properly so called), might, before 1926, have been effected by any method of conveyance except a will; after 1926, these estates became equitable ...
