Fascinated, being made a slave once (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enthralled

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'fascinated' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'made a slave once' is the second definition.
(enthral historically meant to enslave)

'being' is the link.

(Other definitions for enthralled that I've seen before include "Captivated" , "Spellbound" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
