Homage
(gcide) | Homage \Hom"age\, n. [OF. homage, homenage, F. hommage, LL.
hominaticum, homenaticum, from L. homo a man, LL. also, a
client, servant, vassal; akin to L. humus earth, Gr.? on the
ground, and E. groom in bridegroom. Cf. Bridegroom,
Human.]
1. (Feud. Law) A symbolical acknowledgment made by a feudal
tenant to, and in the presence of, his lord, on receiving
investiture of fee, or coming to it by succession, that he
was his man, or vassal; profession of fealty to a
sovereign.
[1913 Webster]
2. Respect or reverential regard; deference; especially,
respect paid by external action; obeisance.
[1913 Webster]
All things in heaven and earth do her [Law] homage.
--Hooker.
[1913 Webster]

[1913 Webster]
3. Reverence directed to the Supreme Being; reverential
worship; devout affection. --Chaucer.
Syn: Fealty; submission; reverence; honor; respect.
Usage: Homage, Fealty. Homage was originally the act of a
feudal tenant by which he declared himself, on his
knees, to be the hommage or bondman of the lord; hence
the term is used to denote reverential submission or
respect. Fealty was originally the fidelity of such a
tenant to his lord, and hence the term denotes a
faithful and solemn adherence to the obligations we
owe to superior power or authority. We pay our homage
to men of pre["e]minent usefulness and virtue, and
profess our fealty to the principles by which they
have been guided.
[1913 Webster]
Go, go with homage yon proud victors meet !
Go, lie like dogs beneath your masters' feet !
--Dryden.
[1913 Webster]
Man, disobeying,
Disloyal, breaks his fealty, and sins
Against the high supremacy of heaven. --Milton.

his lord, that he is his man, that is, his subject or vassal. The form in

latter to the lord. Liege, was borrowed from the French, as Thaumas informs
us, and seems to have meant a service that was personal and inevitable.
