Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: THE-TOO
THRALL , a slave, a
captive
  or bondman, a
term
  especially applied to the serfs (Lat. servi) of the early northern Teutonic peoples. It only occurs in Old
English
  as a word borrowed from the Norse, the proper
term
  in Old
English
  being " theow " (peow); the Icel. Israeli (Dan. trael, Swed. trill) is probably represented by O. H. Ger. dregil, trigil, trikil, a slave, and would therefore be derived from the root meaning " to run," seen in 0. Eng. praegian, Goth. thagjan, cf. Gr. r(AVM ;
Skeat
  (Etym.
Diet
 ., 1898) compares the " trochilus " (Gr. apoxi)os), the small
