The historical conveyance of a freehold estate by the physical delivery of possession.
The medieval feoffment took effect only once the grantor handed over a clod of earth on the land itself.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
