Today's Word "fealty"
fealty \FEE-uhl-tee\ (noun) - 1 : Fidelity to one's lord; the feudal obligation by which the tenant or vassal was bound to be faithful to his lord. 2 : The oath by which this obligation was assumed. 3 : Fidelity; allegiance; faithfulness.
"Chancery swore fealty to king and country before setting off to a far-off land to fight for same."
Fealty comes from Old French fealté, from Latin fidelitas, "fidelity," from fidelis, "faithful," from fides, "faith," from fidere, "to trust."
