The Roman term for "slave" was servus (fem. serva). The term slave originated because in the Middle Ages so many Slavs were enslaved. But the people who speak Slavic languages today are descended from the people who did not get taken away by the slave traders.

It wasn’t just Muslim Arabs, either. Arabs’ involvement in slavery is recorded with reference to Joseph.
