liberated
UK: ˈlɪbəreɪtɪd | US: ˈlɪbəreɪtɪd
adj. freed from oppression, restraint, or social conventions
vt. (past tense of liberate) to set someone or something free
The word liberated derives from the Latin liberatus, the past participle of liberare ("to free"), which itself comes from liber ("free"). The root liber originally referred to the legal status of freedom in Roman society. Over time, liberate evolved in English (via Old French liberer) to mean "to set free," with -ed marking the past tense or adjective form. The modern sense often implies not just physical freedom but also psychological or social emancipation.
