English[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Middle English free, fre, freo, from Old English frēo (free), from Proto-West Germanic *frī, from Proto-Germanic *frijaz (beloved, not in bondage), from Proto-Indo-European *priHós (dear, beloved), from *preyH- (to love, please). Related to friend.

cognates, etc

Germanic cognates include West Frisian frij (free), Dutch vrij (free), Low German free (free), German frei (free), Danish, Swedish and Norwegian fri (free).

Other cognates include Russian приятель (prijatelʹ, friend) and Sanskrit प्रिय (priyá-, beloved).

Germanic and Celtic are the only Indo-European language branches in which the PIE word with the meaning of «dear, beloved» acquired the additional meaning of «free» in the sense of «not in bondage». This was an extension of the idea of «characteristic of those who are dear and beloved», in other words friends and tribe members (in contrast to unfree inhabitants from other tribes and prisoners of war, many of which were among the slaves – compare the Latin use of liberi to mean both «free persons» and «children of a family»).[1][2]

The verb comes from Middle English freen, freoȝen, from Old English frēon, frēoġan (to free; make free), from Proto-West Germanic *frijōn, from Proto-Germanic *frijōną, from Proto-Indo-European *preyH-.

Pronunciation[edit]

  • enPR: frē, IPA(key): /fɹiː/, [fɹɪi̯]
  • Rhymes: -iː
  • Homophone: three (with th-fronting)

A sign advertising free beer (obtainable without payment). It is a joke: every day the sign is read, the free beer will be available «tomorrow».
A «buy one get one free» sign at a flower stand (obtainable without additional payment)
This food product is labelled «fat free«, meaning it contains no fat
