Hereditary in Malayalam
പാരമ്പര്യസിദ്ധം (paarambaryasiddham) is the precise fit: the word for lineage and tradition plus a participle meaning obtained, so it reads as got by descent. Legal, customary and biological writing all use it. പരായണം (paraayanam) is a much older word whose main senses are devotion and chief aim, with hereditary custom only a secondary reading.
