OriginMiddle English: via Old French from Latin liberalis, from liber ‘free (man)’. The original sense was ‘suitable for a free man’, hence ‘suitable for a gentleman’ (one not tied to a trade), surviving in liberal arts. Another early sense ‘generous’ (compare with liberal) gave rise to an obsolete meaning ‘free from restraint’, leading to liberal (late 18th century).Similar and Opposite Wordsadjective- willing to respect or accept behavior or opinions different from one's own; open to new ideas:
