Etymology
The term 'feudalize' originates from the word 'feudal', which refers to the medieval social system based on land ownership and loyalty. The practice of feudalization was prominent during the Middle Ages in Europe, where rulers granted land to nobles in exchange for military service and loyalty. This system helped establish a hierarchical structure in society, with the king or lord at the top, followed by vassals and peasants. Feudalism gradually declined with the rise of centralized monarchies and the shift towards more modern forms of governance.
