2. A term used in biology to describe an organism or species that lacks pigmentation due to a genetic mutation or defect.
3. A medical term referring to the state of being albino, where an individual lacks the normal amount of melanin pigment, leading to a lack of coloration in various parts of the body.

Albinatus is a term used in Roman law to refer to a person who is declared legally dead due to their prolonged absence or disappearance. This declaration is made by a court after a certain period of time has passed without any information or evidence of the person’s whereabouts or survival. Once declared albinatus, the person’s property and assets are distributed according to the laws of inheritance, as if they had died. This legal concept aims to provide closure and certainty in cases where individuals have gone missing and their fate remains unknown.
