What does SOCMAN mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A medieval English tenant who held land in return for fixed rent or services rather than military duty.
A socman belonged to a class of free peasants found mostly in the east of England, especially in lands once under Danish influence. His holding was called socage, and in exchange he paid rent or did agreed farm work for the lord instead of serving as a knight. The Domesday survey of 1086 records many of them. The word comes from the old term soc, meaning a lord's right of jurisdiction.
