<syn>Syn. -- Fealty; submission; reverence; honor; respect.</syn> <usage> -- <er>Homage</er>, <er>Fealty</er>. <i>Homage</i> was originally the act of a feudal tenant by which he declared himself, on his knees, to be the <i>hommage</i> or bondman of the lord; hence the term is used to denote reverential submission or respect. <i>Fealty</i> was originally the <i>fidelity</i> of such a tenant to his lord, and hence the term denotes a faithful and solemn adherence to the obligations we owe to superior power or authority. We pay our <i>homage</i> to men of pre\'89minent usefulness and virtue, and profess our <i>fealty</i> to the principles by which they have been guided.</usage>

<blockquote>Go, go with <b>homage</b> yon proud victors meet ! Go, lie like dogs beneath your masters' feet ! <i>Dryden.</i></blockquote>

<blockquote>Man, disobeying, Disloyal, breaks his <b>fealty</b>, and sins Against the high supremacy of heaven. <i>Milton.</i></blockquote>
