A landholding is the land someone owns — a farm, an estate, a stretch of fields — looked at as property, not as scenery. You can talk about one landholding (a particular piece) or someone's landholdings (all the land they have). It is a quiet, official-sounding word: lawyers, historians, and news about farming or rich families use it. Ordinary people more often say land, farm, or property. It is not the same as a house, and it is not the act of holding on with your hands; holding here means owning and keeping. A person with a huge landholding may not live on it. In older Britain the word sits close to class and power — who owns the countryside — though you can use it anywhere land is owned in a serious way.
持有的土地、地產(當財產看的那片地,不是風景裡的「土地」)。
組成land (the ground) + holding (what you hold, here in the sense of own and keep).
