Etymology
Derived from the ancient Greek adjective ἐλεύθερος (eleútheros) 'free' plus the abstract-noun suffix -ία. The word denotes the condition or quality of being free and has been continuously used from antiquity into Modern Greek. It is ultimately built on a Proto-Indo-European root referring to the (free) people of a community.
