Definition
Verb: To set something or someone free, or to let something go. Noun: The act of making something free or available, such as a new product or a prisoner.
Etymology
From Old French *reles* or *relaisser* “to let go, relinquish,” from Latin *re-* “back” and *laxare* “to loosen.” It has long carried the sense of loosening a hold so something can go.
Kelly Says
To ‘release’ is literally to un-grip. Whether it’s a movie release or emotional release, the hidden picture is the same: something that was tightly held is suddenly allowed into the world.
