"feudum" meaning in Latin

See feudum in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [ˈfɛu̯.dũː] [Classical-Latin], [ˈfɛːu̯.dum] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Borrowed from Old French or Old Occitan feu/fieu, which was borrowed from Frankish *fehu (“livestock, cattle”), which stems from Proto-Germanic *fehu. The -d- in feudum, feodum was inserted under influence of Latin allōdium, also of Frankish origin. Or possibly the term is borrowed from Frankish *fehu-ôd. Latin feudum is cognate to Catalan feu, which too is borrowed from Frankish *fehu. It is also a doublet of pecu, which is inherited from Proto-Indo-European *péḱu, the same source as of Germanic *fehu.
