Feudal describes the old European system called : land was held from a lord, and in return you owed service, often fighting service. So you get a feudal lord, a feudal society, feudal law. It is first of all a history-class word. People also use it loosely, and a little sharply, for any setup that feels like a ladder of bosses and : “The office is positively feudal.” That stretch is opinion, not a history mark. Though actually, it is easy to hear feud — a long fight between families — and think feudal means “about fighting.” That feud is a different word that just looks similar.
From the word’s history
From Old French feodal, from Medieval Latin feodalis, from feodum 'fief'; more at fee.
源自中世紀拉丁文 feodalis,來自 feodum「封地」。
組成From Old French feodal, from Medieval Latin feodalis, from feodum / feudum, a fief (land held from a lord). That land-word goes back to Frankish *fehu, “cattle, property,” from Proto-Germanic *fehu, “cattle.” On the surface it looks like feud (“estate”) + -al. The everyday word fee is from the same Germanic root (cattle → property → land held → a payment).
