A man of noble rank in a monarchy. Historically, lords governed land for the king under the feudal system, and thus served to provide for the people. Now, the title is just ceremonial, a figurehead.
All the same, "lord" (or "lady") can refer to somebody who is very skilled at something.
The female counterpart of a lord is a lady, being either the wife of a lord or a woman who holds the position of a lord in her own right.
In other European languages, the equivalent to "lord" is used as the form of address for men; Dominus, Signore, Señor, Monsieur, Herr, etc.

A title of nobility granted to people of high standing in society by a monarch. Historically, lords served the purpose of governing lands for his king under the feudal system. After the Middle Ages, lords served roles in government. Now, the title is just one of mostly honor and tradition. However, lord can refer to any person possessing personal power beyond the normal.
