thralldom

/ˈθɹɔɫdəm/ noun C1

slavery

Word Origin Thralldom combines Old Norse þræll 'slave' with Old English dōm 'state, condition' — literally 'the state of being a slave.' That -dom suffix is the same one we see in freedom, kingdom, and wisdom, all describing a realm or condition. So thralldom is the condition of bondage, and it's a great example of how Old Norse and Old English blended after the Viking invasions.
