slave's
Belonging to chattel
Slave's is the possessive form of slave.
A slave is a person legally owned by another and forced to work without freedom or pay—a condition that defined millions of lives under systems like American chattel slavery.
The possessive marks what belongs to or relates to a slave: the slave's quarters, a slave's daily rations.
The word extends to anyone in bondage to something: a slave's devotion to routine.
