allodium, alodium|əˈləʊdɪəm|
[a. med.L. al-, allōdium (frequent in Domesday Book,) f. Ger. *alôd, allôd, ‘entire property,’ found in the Salic Law in latinized form alod-is, ‘in W.Goth. documents alaudes’ (Diez), f. all + OLG. ôd (OHG. ôt, OE. eád, ON. auðr), ‘estate, property, wealth’ (Goth. *auds in audags, OE. eádiᵹ wealthy, fortunate, happy). With allōdium cf. med.L. clenōdium a trinket, f. Ger. kleinod, lit. a ‘little piece of property.’ Occasionally englished as allod, allody. Usage varies, in this word and its derivatives, between al- and all-. In med.L., forms in al- are more usual.]
An estate held in absolute ownership without service or acknowledgement of any superior, as among the early Teutonic peoples; opposed to feudum or feud.
