How long was the term Eved used to describe a "slave"?

How long was the term Eved used to describe a "slave" and what other terms meaning "slave" have derived from the word Eved?

The reason I am asking this question is because I am writing a paper for a class I'm taking. I am attempting to describe how derogatory/demeaning names have dissolved as the times change and present becomes past. I tried to research it legitimately but I just can't find the answer, so I have to cheat a bit lol. At least I'll be learning at the same time.

I thank you much if you can help.
