Advocating freedom
Etymology
The term 'liberty-promoting' combines 'liberty,' from Latin 'libertas,' meaning 'freedom,' and 'promoting,' from Latin 'promovere,' meaning 'to move forward.'
'Liberty' evolved from the Latin 'libertas' through Old French 'liberté,' while 'promoting' came from Latin 'promovere' through Old French 'promouvoir.'
Initially, 'liberty' meant 'freedom from restraint,' and 'promoting' meant 'to advance.' The combined term retains these meanings, focusing on advancing freedom.
