enchained
Locked in irons
Enchained means bound with chains, either literally or figuratively.
A prisoner might be enchained to a wall; a person can be enchained by debt, addiction, or obligation.
The word is literary and somewhat old-fashioned: She felt enchained by the expectations of her family.
It emphasizes captivity and restriction more dramatically than simply "chained."
