A baronetcy is the rank itself — the title of being a baronet — not the man who holds it. When someone inherits a baronetcy, the title has passed to him, usually when his father died. People also use it for that whole hereditary honour as a thing a family can hold or trace through the years. The word is formal and British, and you find it in history, law, and old family talk, not in daily conversation. Though actually, often slide this next to barony, which belongs to a baron, a step above. A baronetcy does not make you a lord, and it is not the land; it is the rank.
