Zemindar means landowner. Zameen = Land (urdu word) dar = owner
From Hobson Jobson One holding land on which he pays revenue to the
government direct and not to any intermediate superior. In Bengal proper
the zemindars hold generally considerable tracts of land, on a permanent
settlement of the amount to be paid to the Government.
Zemindars then leased out land to farmers and made a living.
