9. Scots Law. Tenure by military service, ward-holding n. in to hold ward = ‘to hold in ward’ (see hold v. 6, 19b). Also, a payment in commutation of military service; more explicitly taxed ward (see taxed adj. Compounds), in contradistinction to simple or black ward. Cf. castle-guard n. 2, 3, castleward n. 2. Now historical.The lawyers connected this sense with sense 2c, as if ‘to hold land in ward’ meant to hold it subject to the lord's right to ‘ward’ when the heir was a minor.
