Etymology
'fairly-released' is a compound word formed from 'fairly' and 'released'. 'Fairly' originates from Old English 'fægerlice', meaning 'beautifully' or 'pleasantly', and 'released' comes from Old French 'reles', meaning 'to let go'.
'Fairly' evolved from Old English 'fægerlice' to Middle English 'fairliche', and 'released' evolved from Old French 'reles' to Middle English 'relesen'.
Initially, 'fairly' meant 'beautifully', but over time it evolved to mean 'justly' or 'equitably'. 'Released' has maintained its meaning of 'to let go'.
