serf

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'hearing' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

'what you can do on line one's enthralled' is the second definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for serf that I've seen before include "Feudal estate worker" , "who got into bondage" , "Subservient labourer" , "Medieval villein" , "Tied estate worker" .)
