Etymology
Livrare is formed from the verb a livra, "to deliver," plus the suffix -are, which turns a verb into a feminine noun naming the action itself. A livra was borrowed from French livrer, which goes back to Latin liberare, "to set free" or "to hand over." The sense narrowed over time from a general release or handover to the modern commercial meaning of delivering goods.
