Etymology
Liber comes from Latin liber, meaning free, as opposed to a slave. The Latin word traces back to a root meaning people or folk, so being free originally meant belonging to one's own people rather than to a master. Romanian kept the word almost unchanged from Latin, unlike many other Romance languages that reshaped it further.
