/pɹaɪˈɔɹəti/

From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :   [ bouvier ]

  PRIORITY. Going before; opposed to posteriority. (q.v.) 
       2. He who has the precedency in time has the advantage in right, is the 
  maxim of the law; not that time, considered barely in itself, can make any 
  such difference, but because the whole power over a thing being secured to 
  one person, this bars all others from obtaining a title to it afterwards. 1 
  Fonb. Eq. 320. 
       3. In the payment of debts, the United States are entitled to priority 
  when the debtor is insolvent, or dies and leaves an insolvent estate. The 
  priority was declared to extend to cases in which the insolvent debtor had 
  made a voluntary assignment of all his property, or in which his effects had 
  been attached as an absconding or absent debtor, on which an act of legal 
  bankruptcy had been committed. 1 Kent, Com. 243; 1 Law Intell. 219, 251; and 
  the cases there cited. 
       4. Among common creditors, he who has the oldest lien has the 
  preference; it being a maxim both of law and equity, qui prior est tempore, 
  potior est jure. 2 John. Ch. R. 608. Vide Insolvency; and Serg. Const. La*, 
  Index, h.t.
