It comes from the Latin word related to a "fiefdom," the residence or the estate owned by a medieval Lord. "Feudal" is the adjectival form of "feudalism," describing a system that existed in Europe during the Middle Ages, when powerful and wealthy Lords who owned large estates and lands maintained control over various subordinates. These subordinates, called vassals, pledged their loyalty to a Lord and received his protection in return for their service to him.
