What does FEUAR mean in Scrabble?
noun
Scotslegalhistorical
In Scots law, a person who holds land under feu, paying a fixed annual sum called feu duty to a superior rather than owing military or other service.
A feuar held land under the old Scottish system of feu tenure, a form of landholding distinct from the English feudal model, in which the tenant paid a fixed yearly feu duty to a superior instead of providing service or produce. This system shaped how towns and estates in Scotland were built up over centuries, since a landowner could feu out plots to many feuars, who then built and owned their own houses on the land. Feu tenure and the position of feuar were largely abolished by law at the start of the twenty-first century, so the word now belongs mainly to legal history and old property titles.
