Etymology
Freemasonry comes from free and mason; a mason was a worker who 'builds with stone', and 'free' once meant someone 'allowed to travel' to work. These travelling stone workers formed groups with secret signs and rituals, so Freemasonry today is a worldwide society of members who share special rites and symbols.
