another word for serf could be a peasant. but there's a difference. A serf is legally tied to the land. not literally, but if a noble or a lord had given a fief or fiefdom (Basically just a big chunk of land) to a knight, for example, because he was being loyal or some other reason, since the serf was legally tied to the land ,that serf went with the fief he was giving the knight. think of it as a car. serfs were like the tires on a car,and the fief was the rest. Can a car go without the wheels? no. so the serfs stick to the fief like tires on a car.
If there is a time limit on how long they are "owned" then they could be called indentured servents.

I assume you're looking for a word other than ancilla, which has already been given as the answer to "What is the Latin word for female slave".Two other words are serva and famula. Servawas an old-fashioned term for a female slave that was replaced by ancilla in classical times. Famula means "a female household slave" and is related to the word familia, which originally meant "household".Maidservant is another word.
