grandfatherrefuge
/ˈɡrænfɑːðəˌrɛfjuːdʒ/nounVerified NewShelter taken in one's ancestral state on the strength of its refusal to extradite co-ethnics.
The grandfather's nationality becomes a legal raincoat: charges at home, safety among kin, extradition refused as family policy. Descent citizenship is marketed as belonging and operates, at the top end, as asylum.
Etym. — grandfather (as in grandfathered rights) + refuge: the clause becomes a country. Five syllables, kept for the legal pun.
