Etymology of ENFRANCHISING

The word "enfranchising" derives from the Old French term "enfranchiss", which is the present participle of the verb "enfranchir". "Enfranchir" itself comes from the combination of the Old French prefix "en-" (meaning "in" or "within") and the verb "francir" (meaning "to make free" or "to set free"). The term "francir" has its roots in the Latin word "francus", meaning "free" or "liberated". Thus, "enfranchising" essentially means to grant freedom or rights to someone, particularly in a political or legal context.
