Freedom is a wonderful example of a word that is simple and direct, but hides an interesting root meaning. It is made up of two halves, free– meaning “the ability to act in a self-directed manner” and –dom which is a suffix that indicates a general state of being. Freedom has strong cognates in languages closely related to English, such as German, Dutch and the Scandinavian tongues:
