Etymology
Tahrir comes from the Semitic root ḥ-r-r, tied to the idea of being free or unbound, and in some derivations to heat or burning. The verb harrara, Form II of this root, means to set free or to draft a text, and tahrir is its verbal noun. The word carries both senses into modern Arabic: political liberation and editorial work.
