leudh-

PIE base ‘to mount up, grow’.

Other derivatives include deliver, from Latin līber ‘free’, cognate with Greek eleutheros ‘free; noble’, in contrast to ‘being a slave’. This probably originally meant ‘belonging to the people’, although the precise semantic development is obscure. Via another path, also root of German Leute ‘nation, people’.

[Pokorny *leudh-1 ‘to grow up; people; free’, pp. 684–685.]

liberty

When conducting scientific studies, we need to be as free as possible of preconceptions. Otherwise, our beliefs can distort what we are observing, leading us into delusion.

Such a liberating approach to human learning is especially important when engaging in self-inquiry to heal our fragmented minds and split psyches, so that we can understand what is causing us and others to behave as we do.

liberal

The complex story of what liberal means in politics to be added.
