Liberating

/ˈlɪbəreɪtɪŋ/ verb, adjective

Definition

Freeing someone from oppression or a difficult situation; or something that makes you feel free and unconstrained.

Etymology

From Latin 'liberare' (to set free), derived from 'liber' (free). The '-ing' form shows continuous action or present participle.

Kelly Says

The Latin root 'liber' (free) also gave us 'liberty' and 'library'—because Romans saw books as instruments of freedom and libraries as places of intellectual liberation.
