SLAVE, n.

1. A person who is wholly subject to the will of another one who has no will of his own, but whose person and services are wholly under the control of another. In the early state of the world, and to this day among some barbarous nations, prisoners of war are considered and treated as slaves. The slaves of modern times are more generally purchased, like horses and oxen.

2. One who has lost the poser of resistance or one who surrenders himself to any power whatever as a slave to passion, to lust, to ambition.

3. A mean person one in the lowest state of life.

4. A drudge one who labors like a slave.

SLAVE, To drudge to toil to labor as a slave.
