ESNE

An esne (ez-nee) is a person who is hired to work as a laborer or a slave.

An example of an esne would be a person who is hired to work on a farm or in a mine. They would work long hours for little pay and have no freedom to leave their job.

Another example would be a person who is sold into slavery and forced to work for their owner. They would have no control over their own life and would be treated as property.

The examples illustrate the definition of an esne by showing how they are hired to work in difficult and often dangerous conditions. They have little control over their own lives and are often treated poorly by their employers. This type of labor was common in the past, but is now illegal in most countries.
