I was reading the definition of the word “slave” as a verb on Oxford dictionary and found this under the 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 cent.” I felt a weird lightbulb moment as it has never crossed my mind how they both sound alike. But the question is, what’s the story, if any, behind the Slavs being slaves, and is this the reason behind their presence in Eastern Europe?
>>17436071>Were Slavs slaves?No. They ARE slaves.
>>17436071No.
>>17436071>An alternative contemporary hypothesis states that Medieval Latin sclāvus via *scylāvus derives from Byzantine σκυλάω (skūláō, skyláō) or σκυλεύω (skūleúō, skyleúō) with the meaning "to strip the enemy (killed in a battle)" or "to make booty / extract spoils of war".
