Bordlode, or Bordage, a service required of tenants to carry timber out of the lord's woods to his house, or the quantity of food or provisions which the bordarii or bordmen paid for their bordlands. The old Scots had the term of burd and meet-burd for victuals and provisions, and burden-sack for a sack full of provender, whence probably came our word burden, Spelm.
