What does LIEGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A feudal lord entitled to the loyalty, allegiance, and service of a vassal.
Liege describes a feudal lord who stood at the top of a chain of obligation, owed loyalty, military service, and taxes by the vassals who held land from him. The word was often used directly in address, as when a knight or subject called a ruler my liege to acknowledge the bond between them. Unlike a simple landlord, a liege was expected to offer protection and justice in return for the service he received, so the relationship worked in both directions. Liege now belongs mostly to historical writing, medieval fiction, and ceremonial language rather than to any living legal system.
How LIEGE is used
Now used mainly in historical, literary, or ceremonial writing rather than in modern everyday speech.
