A collection or register of household servants or famuli; archaic term relating to servants in a household.
From Latin 'famulus' (servant) plus the -ary suffix (indicating a collection or place). This is an extremely rare term, primarily appearing in historical or ecclesiastical contexts.
Medieval monasteries and great estates kept 'famularies'—lists of servants that were as important as inventories of property, revealing how carefully organized and stratified these communities actually were.
