1word1daySome old Middle English here.... somewhat antiquated with good reason given the use and context of the word.

verb: To free from slavery, specifically,a master freeing their own slave.
Origins: 1375-1425; late Middle English. Latin manūmittere, earlier manū ēmittere to send away from (one's) hand, i.e., to set free.
