In historical India, a person who held an enam (a feudal land grant) or a feudal chief granted such privileges.
From Persian 'enam' (grant) plus 'dar' (holder or master). This compound describes the person who held the grant.
Colonial English documents are full of terms like 'enamdar' that show how English administrators tried to describe complex foreign feudal systems using borrowed vocabulary.
