English Dictionary - With Multi-Lingual Search Definitions feudalism noun (uncountable) A social system based on personal ownership of resources and personal fealty between a suzerain (lord) and a vassal (subject). Some social-evolutionary theories hold that mankind is evolving through several stages which started with communism and will ultimately return there, have passed through classical society, feudalism, and capitalism, although these phases seem more characteristic just of Europe than elsewhere. Defining characteristics are direct ownership of resources, personal loyalty, and a hierarchical social structure reinforced by religion.      Full Definition of feudalism  Find:   Words Starting With:   Words Ending With:   Words Containing:   Words That Match:    Translate Into:    Dutch   French   German    Italian   Spanish     Show 51015202550 results per page.
