Advanced Description
This is is an experimental feature. Please report any issues.The Italian noun "schiavo" translates to "slave" in English. It refers to a person who is owned by another person and is forced to work without pay or freedom.
In ancient Rome, slavery was a common practice and slaves were considered property. They were bought and sold, and their owners had complete control over them.
While the institution of slavery has been abolished in most parts of the world today, the term "schiavo" can still be used metaphorically to describe someone who is completely under the control or influence of another.
