Etymology

Medieval Latin feudum, feodum, fevum, feum etc. is borrowed from Old French or Old Occitan 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], also of Frankish origin.

Latin feudum is cognate to Catalan feu which is borrowed from Frankish *fehu (“livestock, cattle”).[3]
