Definition of SLAVE

Slave - Noun
a person held in servitude as the chattel of another

:stopitslime:
That's connotation. I posted the etymological root of the word....what it really means with early edition dictionary references. Just a quick, "slavery etymology" Google search:
slave
Dictionary result for slave
Origin
Middle English: shortening of Old French esclave, equivalent of medieval Latin sclava (feminine) ‘Slavonic (captive)’: the Slavonic peoples had been reduced to a servile state by conquest in the 9th century.


The word LATER came to mean the act forced upon the Slavs...but the original meaning never changes. Slav and slave are interchangeable....gotta be careful with what you identify as. Its power in the tongue my g

Oh, wow. Dont try to spin this shyt on me man....what you're perpetuating and promoting is dangerous rhetoric my guy. I'm just going to assume it's out of ignorance and not intentful. You cant be posting dumb shyt like this, its lurkers who really wanna know wassup that absorb this type shyt.

You gotta be more careful breh, unless you're what you're tryna project me to be.

ETYMOLOGY RULES LANGUAGE. This is a fact, the meaning of a word NEVER changes I dont care how much layering and added implications are imposed upon said word. This is fundamental in law. Every word means what it originally meant in legal cases. Stop promoting ignorance fam...that's opp shyt

Slav is the etymological root of Slave.
