Word Entry "Hamlet" #8


1) " Come then, th' appurtenance of welcome is fashion and ceremony" (1338, 328)

2) My guess: The tradition or protocol

3): Definition: "An incidental right attached to a principal property right and passing in possession with it" (dictionary.com)

4) Hamlet is telling the performers that their principal right is a joyous welcome, but along with that he is extending to them fashion and ceremony. In other words, a party for their arrival.
