thralls
Those in bondage
Thralls are people in bondage or servitude.
The word comes from Old Norse for slave, and in historical contexts refers to enslaved people in medieval Scandinavia.
More often now, thrall appears in the phrase in thrall to, meaning completely captivated or dominated by something: in thrall to technology, held in thrall by her beauty.
The singular thrall can mean the state of being captive: the thrall of addiction.
