libre

/ˈlibɾe/ · A1 · adj

free

🕊️ libre = liberty with the ending trimmed: same Latin root, liber (free)

From Latin liber, free, the source of English liberty, liberate and liberal. Say LEE-breh. Caution: libre means free as in freedom; free of charge is gratis. Libro (book) comes from a different Latin liber, so the two only look related.
