Lord is an appellation for a person or deity who has authority, control, or power over others, acting as a master, a chief, or a ruler. The appellation can also denote certain persons who hold a title of the peerage in the United Kingdom, or are entitled to courtesy titles. The collective 'Lords' can refer to a group or body of peers. Etymology According to the Oxford Dictionary of English, the etymology of the word can be traced back to the Old English word hlford which originated from hlfweard meaning 'loaf-ward' or 'bread-keeper', reflecting the Germanic tribal custom of a chieftain providing food for his followers. The appellation 'lord' is primarily applied to men, while for women the appellation 'lady' is used. This is no longer universal: the Lord of Mann, a title held by the Queen of the United Kingdom, and female Lords Mayor are examples of women who are styled as 'Lord'. Historical usage = Feudalism =Under the feudal system, 'lord' had a wide, loose and varied meaning. An overlord was a person from whom a landholding or a manor was held by a mesne lord or vassal under various forms of feudal land tenure. The modern term 'landlord' is a vestigial survival of this function. A liege lord was a person to whom a vassal owed sworn allegiance.
