Allod, neuter, ‘allodial estate, freehold,’ first occurs in Modern High German, adopted from Middle Latin allodium, which is the latinised form for the Old German and OFranc. alôdis, Old High German al-ôd, ‘entire property or possession, free property’; compare Old Saxon ód, Anglo-Saxon eád, ‘estate, possession,’ Old High German ôtag, ‘wealthy.’ To this the Teutonic proper name Odoardo, Edward, is allied.
