Definition
The relationship of being a client; the state of depending on someone for support, or in Roman history, the system of patron-client relationships.
Etymology
From 'client' (Latin 'cliens') + '-age' (noun-forming suffix meaning 'state or condition'). The term is especially preserved in historical contexts describing Roman social structures.
Kelly Says
In ancient Rome, 'clientage' was the glue holding society together—poor clients would greet their wealthy patrons (patrones) at dawn in exchange for protection and money, a system so important they called it 'salutatio' and it was basically a job.
