daimyo
This term refers specifically to the hereditary landed nobility of feudal Japan. It carries a connotation of regional autonomy and military power, as these lords operated as semi-independent sovereigns within their own domains while remaining nominally subordinate to the shogun.
In English usage, the word is treated as a loanword. While it follows standard English pluralization in most modern contexts, some writers maintain the Japanese plural form, which is identical to the singular.
