When word origins are noted, one will see the majority having entered usage between the signing of the Magna Carta in 1215, which placed the people of England in the grips of slavery and the beginning of Plantation America, in 1607, during which many laws against being poor and homeless were enacted concurrent with laws that made people homeless and poor called "enclosure acts." The brief glossary below constitutes the semantics of European-American enslavement over some 800 years. Searching certain word origins online has recently become more troublesome as the campaign to change the meaning of words and hide the past beyond a wall of semantics ramps up.

-1. Rogue, a wandering beggar; a vagrant, origin of rogue: First recorded in 1555–65; origin uncertain, apparently short for obsolete roger "begging vagabond," originally thieves' jargon, synonym study for rogue

Old French orfeno, orphenin, Italian orfano ), from Greek orphanos, orphaned, without parents,

fatherless; literally deprived from orphos, bereft

-45. Renegade, 1580s, apostate, traitor, unbeliever, turncoat, rebel directly from Medieval Latin

-46. Chattel, from the Latin caput meaning head of cattle. It was not possible, in a half hour of online

searches, to find the first use of this term in English, as it is described exclusively in terms of African bondage, despite the Latin root. I have examined a document in the Maryland Archives which refers to people of three races as "chattel" in 1707. Yet these three online dictionaries are resistant to a definition or origin beyond African bondage.

Editor: If the editor can find a first mention of the use in English, we will possibly discover that it was used

prior to enslavement of Africans, which might be the reason for the academic obfuscation here found in standard sources.

-47. Transport, an unfree person bound-over on a ship

-48. Convict, an unfree person designated as unfree according to judicial decree specifically a punishment for a crime

-49. Redemptioner, a person owned by a ship’s captain, either because they failed to pay for their passage, agreed to be sold in return for passage, were defrauded after paying for passage, a family member of theirs died in passage and the survivor was billed for their death and sold to compensate the captain, or because a relative in America had agreed to liberate their family member via payment to the Captain upon arrival.

-51. Savage, from the French meaning the people who live in the woods, with no racial designation

-52. Heathen, people of the "heather" or the wild uplands in the British Isles, which came to be associated with not being Christian and was then applied to Indian tribes of mixed Amerindian and European racial stock in 1600s New England

-53. Freight, an unfree person held below decks

-54. Half-freight, an unfree child held below decks

-55. Wench, interestingly, though we are taught in America that this is a term for African American women, even this PC dictionary source which resists sourcing chattel to uses prior to the African Slave Trade, gives this: Origin of wench 1250–1300; Middle English, back formation from wenchel, Old English wencel child, akin to wancol tottering, said of a child learning to walk; akin to German wankeln to totter

This is simply another term for child under the power of adults that became attached to unfree adult women during the Plantation Era.

-56: Squaw, young Algonquin woman, identical meaning as Senorita in Spanish, not an insult

-57. Ward, the Old English name derives from an occupational surname for a civil guard/keeper of the watch, or alternately as a topographical surname from the word werd, meaning marsh. By the Plantation Era, ward meant the person under the watch of another, such as used in the medical ward, "a ward of the state," and applied to orphans under the care of an adult guardian. Root of the word warden, the official who runs a prison. Ward, will, I think, in the future, be expanded as a medical term for unfree person much as serf was used as an agricultural term for unfree person, justly unfree, under corporate ownership.

-58. Rights, government enforced privileges due the elite

-59. Cracker, from the Gaelic to crack the whip, originally on cattle, then to have the whip cracked upon the cracker as he "gets cracking" to his task, and ultimately the overseer who wields the whip

-61. Kidnapping, originally the practice of abducting Scottish children for sale as servants
