Etymology
Freeing comes from the simple root free, from an old English word meaning 'not in bondage' or 'allowed to go', and you can see the same root in freedom. So freeing is the act of making someone or something free, like opening a cage or removing chains, which is why it means 'the act of setting someone free'.
