Etymology

Romanian formed "elibera" in the nineteenth century from the adjective "liber" (free, from Latin "liber"), on the model of French "libérer". This was part of a broader effort to re-Latinize and modernize Romanian vocabulary after centuries of Slavic and Ottoman influence. The prefix "e-" comes from Latin "ex-" and adds a sense of completion or emergence.
