The act of transferring property or land to someone else in a legal process; the present participle of feoff.
From feoff + -ing (present participle suffix). Feoff itself comes from Old French, tracing back to Germanic roots for property and ownership.
Feoffing was how medieval people bought and sold land—instead of just signing a deed, the owner had to physically perform the transfer, making it dramatic and impossible to deny.
