appurtenance

Indeed, that was as it should be; for she was only an appurtenance of my mattress, or self-acting bedstead on four castors.

In the case of the urban consumer of nature writing, of course, the mud is to be hosed off one's mental Range Rover immediately one lifts one's eyes from the page and gives silent thanks for the civilised appurtenances of hot yoga and flat whites.

It is well settled that a water right may pass with land as an appurtenance thereto, or as a parcel thereof.

Thus, these two characteristics — appurtenance and the lack of need for any act of acquisition - go together and depend upon each other; one is merely looking at different facets of the same thing.
