Actually, the feudal concept of fealty did not only bind a vassal to a lord, but - to a lesser degree - also to that lord's lord and so on.
Why do you care? It's a fairly clear word for a new-ish idea, IMHO.
- sliverstorm 16y agoI don't care. It just seemed like an odd choice in words.
- steveklabnik 16y agoIt's a very established term in that community. If you want to pick on a word for technical reasons, 'polyamory' itself is actually pretty popular. I can't find a link to the quote now, but it was something along the lines of "Half greek, and half latin? Obviously wrong."
