What does ENSERF mean in Scrabble?
verb
historical
To reduce a person or a people to the condition of a serf, bound to land and a master.
In medieval and early modern Europe a serf could not leave the estate on which he worked, so to enserf a population meant to tie it permanently to the soil and to a lord. Writers also use the word figuratively for any arrangement that leaves people dependent and unable to move on. It is a formal, somewhat bookish verb, usually met in history writing.
