The word "landlord" originated in the Middle Ages, combining the Old English words "land" and "hlaford," meaning "lord." It was initially used to describe the lord of a manor who held land and leased it to tenants. Over time, the meaning evolved to encompass anyone who owned property and rented it out, whether a single house or a vast estate. The use of "lord" in the term reflects the historical power and ownership dynamics between landlords and their tenants, with the landlord traditionally holding a position of authority.
