feudum

== Latin == === Alternative forms === feodum, fevum, feum === Etymology === Borrowed from Old French or Old Occitan feu/fieu, which was borrowed from Frankish *fehu (“livestock, cattle”), which stems from Proto-Germanic *fehu. The -d- in feudum, feodum was inserted under influence of Latin allōdium, also of Frankish origin. Or possibly the term is borrowed from Frankish *fehu-ôd. Latin feudum is cognate to Catalan feu, which too is borrowed from Frankish *fehu. It is also a doublet of pecu, which is inherited from Proto-Indo-European *péḱu, the same source as of Germanic *fehu. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈfɛu̯.dũː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈfɛːu̯.dum] === Noun === feudum n (genitive feudī); second declension (Medieval Latin) A fief, fee. ==== Declension ==== Second-declension noun (neuter). ==== Derived terms ==== feudālis feudātōrius feudātus feudō ==== Descendants ==== Asturian: feudu Italian: feudo→ Greek: φέουδον (féoudon) (Katharevousa)Greek: φέουδο (féoudo) (Modern)→ Romanian: feudă Old French: feud Spanish: feudo Portuguese: feudo → Middle English: feud English: feud === References === "feudum", in Charles du Fresne du Cange, Glossarium Mediæ et Infimæ Latinitatis (augmented edition with additions by D.
