primogeniture..... word power from your head do you know that word or is it made up?

I know what it means but, from my head - primo means first, gen means birth - so something to do with firstborn - probably inheritance (but then, I already knew it was inheritance by the first born.)

 

[MGA]

It refers to the rights of the first born sibling to inherit everything.
