n. 
quality or condition of being a slave, slavery, bondage – WehrCowan1976 
▪ Accord. to Ar lexicographers, one of the terms for ‘slaves’, raqīq, is based on riqqaẗ in the (now obsol.) sense of ‘abjectness, meanness, paltriness, contemptibleness’ (Lane iii 1867, quoting from Tāǧ al-ʕArūs), thus based on ↗raqqa ‘(to be\come) thin, soft’, with an assumed development *‘thin > weak > mean, contemptible’.
