'bondage-supporting' originates from the English word 'bondage,' which comes from the Old French 'bondage,' meaning 'condition of a serf or slave,' and 'supporting,' from the Latin 'supportare,' meaning 'to carry or bring up.'

'bondage' evolved from the Old French 'bondage' and 'supporting' from the Latin 'supportare,' eventually forming the modern English compound adjective 'bondage-supporting.'

Initially, 'bondage' referred to the condition of being a serf or slave, and 'supporting' meant to carry or uphold. Together, they now mean advocating for such a condition.
