thrall
State of captivity
A thrall is a slave or someone in bondage—originally a person held in servitude in medieval Scandinavia.
The word now appears almost exclusively in the phrase in thrall to, meaning captivated or dominated by something: He remained in thrall to his addiction.
The state of being enslaved is thralldom.
