Is it something like "scribe" or "clerk"? [i.e. a word drudge]
No.
Oh yeah, sorry, missed the whole 'not a noun phrase' thing...
"to become a slave/servant"?

No.
I should point out that like in German, infinitives are usually cited with the object before the verb.

Is this too difficult or are people just not particularly interested at the moment?
Ah, sorry. Life and all that…
Does it mean something like "to suffer/endure a fate"?

Is the intended meaning more specific or less specific, if that makes sense?

Sorry, I should have been more clear that I think that is an acceptable answer. haha
I would actually gloss it as "accept (one's) fate."
