What does Disinherited really mean?

Alright, so, "disinherited" is a pretty heavy word but I'll try to make it easy for you to understand. It's like when you would normally expect to get something - like maybe your favorite toy or a piece of cake - but then suddenly you're told that you can't have it anymore. It's like being left out or excluded from something that you should have been a part of. So, when someone is disinherited, it means that they're being excluded from inheriting something that they should have gotten. It's usually used when talking about money, property, or things like that.

Imagine it like being left out of a game that everyone else is playing or missing out on a party that you were really looking forward to. It's like being left with a feeling of disappointment or sadness because you were supposed to be included but somehow got left out. So, in simple words, to be disinherited means not getting what you were supposed to get from someone's will or inheritance.

I hope that makes sense to you! Let me know if you have any more questions about it.
