Etymology [edit]
Medieval Latin feudum, feodum, fevum, feum etc. is borrowed from Old French or Old Provençal feu/fieu, which is borrowed from Frankish *fehu (“livestock, cattle”)[1], which stems from Proto-Germanic *fehu.
The -d- in feudum, feodum has been inserted under influence of Latin allodium[2].
Latin feudum is cognate to Catalan feu which is borrowed from Frankish *fehu (“livestock, cattle”).[3]
