What does SOCAGE mean in Scrabble?
noun
historicallegal
A medieval form of land tenure in which a tenant paid rent or performed fixed non-military service.
Socage was the usual way a free peasant held land in medieval England, and it contrasted with tenure by knight service, where the duty was to fight. The obligation was fixed in advance, whether a sum of money or a set amount of farm work, so the tenant knew exactly what he owed. English law kept socage tenure alive for centuries and abolished the old forms only in the twentieth century. The spelling soccage also appears.
