Etymology

The word 'manorial' originates from the Late Latin term 'manoralis', which is derived from 'manor', a term referring to a large country house or estate. The concept of manorialism arose in the early Middle Ages as a method of rural organization. It was a system where land was owned by a lord and managed in a manner that ensured self-sufficiency and protection for the peasants living on it. The term became more widely used as the feudal system expanded throughout Europe, particularly in England and France, to describe the relationships and responsibilities within the hierarchical structure of the time. During this period, the role of the manor became central to agrarian life, representing not just a physical space but a complex social system that governed everyday life.
