Best Answer

The word "lewis" in this context refers to a device for lifting stones with a block and tackle. Why it refers to the son of a Mason is not clear--perhaps it has something to do with being "brought up" or "raised" by one's father.

Do you inherit being a freemason?

No. However, in some countries, the son of a Freemason is called a "Lewis," and so enjoys a certain status as the son of a Freemason, just as the wife, widow, mother, sister or daughter of a Freemason enjoys a certain protected status. However, if the son of a Freemason chooses to seek membership in the fraternity, he must do so of his own free will and accord. There is no guarantee that he will be accepted.
