FREELANCE Meaning and
Definition
-
Freelance refers to the type of work or employment arrangement, often found in the creative or professional services industries, where an individual offers their specialized skills or services to multiple clients or organizations on a project-by-project basis or for a specific period of time, instead of being bound by a long-term contract or employed by a single employer.
Freelancers are essentially self-employed and have the flexibility to choose their work hours, set their rates, negotiate terms of service, and often work remotely, allowing them to have more control over their career and work-life balance. They are responsible for finding their clients and managing their own business affairs, handling aspects such as client acquisition, billing, and taxes.
Freelance professionals typically possess expertise in a specific field, such as writing, graphic design, programming, marketing, consulting, or photography, among others. They are hired based on their skills and experience, providing clients with specialized services on a project basis. The duration and terms of each freelance engagement may vary, ranging from short-term assignments to long-term collaborations, depending on the needs of the client and the agreement between the freelancer and the client.
Freelancing has become increasingly popular in the modern workforce due to the rise of technology, which has made remote work more accessible and enabled freelancers to connect with clients globally. Freelancers enjoy the advantages of being their own boss, choosing their projects, and having the potential for increased earning potential, but they also bear the risks of income variability and the need to continually secure clients and manage their business affairs.

Etymology of FREELANCE
The word "freelance" originates from the Middle Ages and has its roots in Old English and Middle English. It is formed by combining the words "free" and "lance".
The term "lance" refers to a weapon, specifically a spear used by knights or soldiers during battles. In medieval times, these knights were often hired by different rulers or nobles to fight in their armies. However, there were also knights who were not permanently attached to any specific lord or master. These independent knights were referred to as "freelances" because they were free to offer their services to whoever required them.
Over time, the meaning of "freelance" expanded beyond military context and started to be used more broadly to describe individuals who were not bound to a particular employer or company.
