liberty/freedom

Hi

Is there much difference between the word liberty and the word freedom?
  

Top answer

In meaning, no, but the Anglo-Saxon freedom is much warmer and has more feeling than liberty, which derives from French. This is true about most similar pairs of words that are synonymous or nearly synonymous. hearty - cordial; folk - people; holy - saint CB
