Spelling

Charter party hyphenated or not: i.e. charter-party or charter party? Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 00:57, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The latin term "charta partita" is a back-formation word, and the French "charte partie" (of which "charterparty" is a homophone) is the true etymological source. The 1970 edition of the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary hyphenates the word to charter-party, but the authoritative 2005 Collins English Dictionary makes it a single word, "charterparty". It seems that of the three possibilities, two words (unhyphenated or hyphenated) or single, the single word is the best and simplest, and it accords with current legal usage in UK maritime circles. It may be that USA usage is different, but as the word first become anglicised from the French in England, I think it is fair to adopt the single word "charterparty", even though the predictive text spellchecker insists otherwise!
