liberty WHAT DOES IT REALLY MEAN?
The link in Italian doesn't make sense but I'm not sure if it just needs explanation or if it's wrong. I'm not sure how to edit Wiktionary properly or how to verify this so I didn't change it.
(Under Italian, the word is listed as
liberty m. inv. 1. art nouveau
The example for the second noun meaning is wrong, it refers to a particular liberty, respectively, the liberty to speak freely. It has nothing to do with freedom from imprisonment, slavery or forced labour. Can somebody help find a new one? Meanwhile, i replaced it with the third article from the UDHR, i think it applies.
old: The condition of being free from imprisonment, slavery or forced labour.
The prisoners were at liberty to speak freely with their lawyers.
new: The condition of being free from imprisonment, slavery or forced labour.
Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.
John Camden Hotten's Slang Dictionary (1873) defines it as "ground let in parts of Yorkshire for shooting purposes" (unclear whether countable or uncountable). I couldn't easily find any clear citation; perhaps it overlaps with our existing sense of "a local division of government administration in medieval England". Equinox ◑ 11:05, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
