Yes, the spelling is correct! This is one of those words that looks fat-fingered; and no, it’s not equivalent to that indecipherable Trumpian “covfefe’. It’s a real word.
I first encountered the word while reading Trouillot, Michel-Rolph’s “Haiti: State Against Nation. The Origin and Legacy of Duvalierism, pg 57”.
It’s a medieval term for a deed that represents a transaction in which the deed holder was given land in exchange for service rendered.
Though not explicitly stated as such, Land grants by Christophe to his officer corps, for example, can be considered a form of enfeoffment for military service rendered.
