单词 zamindar
释义

zamindarn.

Brit. /zəˈmiːndɑː/, U.S. /zəˈminˌdɑr/, /zəˌminˈdɑr/
Forms:

α. 1600s gemidar, 1600s–1700s jemidar, 1600s–1700s jemmidar, 1700s jemitdar, 1700s zemidar, 1800s jumidar.

β. 1700s jemendar, 1700s–1800s zimeendar, 1700s–1900s zemendar, 1700s– zamindar, 1700s– zemindar, 1800s zemeendar, 1800s zumeendar.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Urdu. Partly a borrowing from Persian. Etymons: Urdu zamīndār; Persian zamīndār.
Etymology: < (i) Urdu zamīndār, zamīdār (pronounced with either /a/ or /æ/ in the first syllable), and its etymon (ii) Persian zamīndār, zamīdar < zamīn land, ground (ultimately < the same Indo-European base as classical Latin humus : see humus n.) + dār-dar suffix.Forms with initial j- reflect a colloquial Urdu pronunciation. In early use in English sometimes difficult to distinguish from jamadar n. (which is sometimes written in a similar way); confusion with this word may have influenced the α. forms.
Now historical.
In South Asia: (in the Mughal period) a landholder responsible for paying land revenue for an area to the emperor and carrying out certain other duties in return for retaining a percentage of the amount collected; (later, under British rule) a landowner required to pay a fixed land tax directly to the government.The status of the zamindars and the extent of the lands they held varied considerably, some being extremely wealthy and powerful. The zamindari system continued to operate in some form in many parts of British India until Independence in 1947, although it was more prevalent in the north than in the south where the ryotwari system predominated (cf. ryotwari adj.).
