A quick definition of metayer system:

The metayer system is a way of farming where a landlord divides their land into small farms and gives them to families. The families then pay the landlord a fixed portion of the crops they grow, usually half, and the landlord provides the animals and tools needed for farming. This system used to be common in parts of France, Italy, and the southern United States.

A more thorough explanation:

The metayer system is an agricultural system where a landlord divides their land into small farms and rents them out to single families. The families pay the landlord a fixed portion, usually half, of the produce they grow, and the landlord provides the stock. This system was commonly used in parts of France, Italy, and the southern United States.

Metelotage is a French term that has two meanings. In French law, it refers to the leasing of a ship. In a maritime context, it refers to a seaman's wages.

For example, if a sailor is hired to work on a ship, their metelotage would be the wages they receive for their work. This term is still used in some French-speaking countries.
