The word kholop was first mentioned in a chronicle under the year of 986. Its etymology is unclear. By one hypothesis, the word is cognate with Slavic words translated as "boy" (more specifically, adolescent male; modern Russian: хлопец (hlopets), Polish: chlopak), which actually matches the usage of the English word boy as "servant". The Slavic word itself is derived from the hypothetical root *chol related to premarital state, unmarriedness, inability for reproduction.

In the 11th - 12th centuries, the term referred to different categories of dependant people and especially slaves. Kholop's master had unlimited power over his life, e.g., he could kill him, sell him, or pay his way out of debt with him. The master, however, was responsible for kholop's actions, such as insulting the free people, stealing etc. A person could become a kholop as a result of capture, selling ownself, being sold for debts or committed crimes, and marriage to a kholop. Until the late 15th century, the kholops represented a majority among the servants, who had been working lordly lands. Some part of the kholops, mainly from among the house serfs, replenished the ranks of the princely servants (including those in the military), engaged themselves in different trades, farming, or administrative activities. Throughout the 16th century, the kholops' role in the corvee economy had been diminishing due to the increasing involvement of peasant exploitation (see Russian serfdom). At the turn of the 16th century, the service class kholops (служилое холопство, or sluzhiloye kholopstvo) began to emerge and spread across the country. In the late 17th century, there were also kholops "chained" to their land (посаженные на землю, or posazhenniye na zemlyu), who took care of their own household and had to pay quitrent. Those kholops, who had been house serfs, were subject to poll tax in 1722-1724 and became a part of regular serfs.
