What does Fee Mean?

What does fee meaning in English

1. [In law.] All lands and tenements that are held by any acknowledgment of superiority to a higher lord. All lands and tenements, wherein a man hath a perpetual estate to him and his heirs, &c. are divided into allodium and feudum: allodium is every man’s own land, which he possesses merely in his own right, without acknowledgment of any service, or payment of any rent to any other. Feudum, or fee, is that which we hold by the benefit of another, and in name whereof we owe services, or pay rent, or both, to a superior lord. And all our land in England , the crown-land, which is in the king’s own hands, in right of his crown, excepted, is in the nature of feudum: for though a man have land by descent from his ancestors, or bought it for his money; yet is the land of such a nature, that it cannot come to any, either by descent or purchase, but with the burthen that was laid upon him who had novel fee, or first of all received it as a benefit from his lord, to him and to all such to whom it might descend, or be any way conveyed from him. So that no man in England has directum dominium, that is, the very property or demesne in any land, but the prince in right of his crown: for though he that has fee has jus perpetuum & utile dominium, yet he owes a duty for it, and therefore it is not simply his own. Fee is divided into two sorts; fee-absolute, otherwise called fee-simple, and fee-conditional, otherwise termed fee-tail: fee-simple is that whereof we are seized in those general words, To us and our heirs for ever: fee-tail is that whereof we are seised to us and our heirs, with limitation; that is, the heirs of our body, &c. And fee-tail is either general or special: general is where land is given to a man, and the heirs of his body: fee-tail special is that where a man and his wife are seised of land to them and the heirs of their two bodies. Cowel. Now like a lawyer, when he land would let, Or sell fee -simples in his master’s name. Hubberd’s Tale. Here’s the lord of the soil come to seize me for a stray, for entering his fee -simple without leave. Shakespeare’s Henry VI.
   
2. Property; peculiar. What concern they? The general cause; or is it a fee -grief, Due to some single breast? Shakespeare’s Macbeth.
   
3. Reward; gratification; recompense. These be the ways by which, without reward, Livings in courts be gotten, though full hard; For nothing there is done without a fee. Hubberd’s Tale. Not helping, death’s my fee; But if I help, what do you promise me? Shakespeare.

The word "fee" in works of art

You don't need water to feel like you're drowning, do you?

Jennifer Weiner / In Her Shoes

What is memory if not the language of feeling, a dictionary of faces and days and smells which repeat themselves like the verbs and adjectives in a speech, sneaking in behind the thing itself, into the pure present, making us sad or teaching us vicariously...

Roberto Bolaño / 2666

Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life! Because I lie and sign myself to lies! Because I am not worth the dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name!

The Crucible / Arthur Miller

Each time he took a walk, he felt as though he were leaving himself behind, and by giving himself up to the movement of the streets, by reducing himself to a seeing eye, he was able to escape the obligation to think, and this, more than anything else, brought him a measure of peace, a salutary emptiness within...By wandering aimlessly, all places became equal, and it no longer mattered where he was. On his best walks, he was able to feel that he was nowhere. And this, finally, was all he ever asked of things: to be nowhere.

Paul Auster / City of Glass

That's the thing about books. They let you travel without moving your feet.

Jhumpa Lahiri / The Namesake

Illusions are art, for the feeling person, and it is by art that we live, if we do.

Dream of the Red Chamber / Cao Xueqin

She had a perpetual sense, as she watched the taxi cabs, of being out, out, far out to sea and alone; she always had the feeling that it was very, very dangerous to live even one day.

Virginia Woolf / Mrs. Dalloway

Emotions, in my experience, aren't covered by single words. I don't believe in 'sadness,' 'joy,' or 'regret.' Maybe the best proof that the language is patriarchal is that it oversimplifies feeling.

Jeffrey Eugenides / Middlesex
