Morphology

landholding = land + holding (transparent) = land + holding

Same compound structure as the conventional sense; the meaning is extended metaphorically to virtual plots but remains predictable from 'land' + 'holding'.

Etymology

The word landholding is the same combination of land ('ground' or 'area of land') and holding ('ownership' or 'keeping'). You can see holding in a word like shareholding, so a landholding in online worlds is a piece of virtual land someone owns as a digital asset.
