Word origin
The term 'bondman' originated in the Middle Ages in England, where it referred to a man who was bound in service to a feudal lord. The concept of servitude and bondage was prevalent in the feudal system, where peasants worked the land in exchange for protection. Over time, the term evolved to also represent a person bound by a promise or duty. The history of bondmen reflects the hierarchical and contractual nature of medieval society.
