subtlety

If this refers simply to castles, then something like "Forms and functions of castle life" and "examination of the evolution of castles" might do the trick, but it might also refer to life and villages immediately adjacent to castles, just outside the castle walls, or possibly even fortified villages. We need to know.

maybe but once he understands where the word comes from, he can fit it into his sentence. It's his translation
