Where “feudalism” refers to a specific form of society and not just “that time period”

“feudalism laid the groundwork for capitalism” is just something I’ve heard a few times here and elsewhere, I wanted to know what people meant by it.

the vague impression I always got was more along the lines of “capitalism started because there were just too many non-nobles with money and guns”

or maybe that was my take on early democracy.
