MANUMIT Meaning and Definition

1. Manumit is a verb that refers to the act of freeing or releasing someone from slavery or servitude, specifically by legal means. It is derived from the Latin word "manumittere," which combines "manus" (hand) with "mittere" (to let go).

   To manumit an individual implies the granting of their freedom and rights that were previously denied or suppressed. This emancipation can occur through a variety of legal mechanisms, such as through a formal decree, a written document, or as part of a legal agreement between the slave and their master.

   Manumission has a long historical context, particularly in relation to the abolition of slavery. Throughout different periods of history and in various societies, individuals or entities have actively worked towards manumitting slaves, recognizing their inherent rights and dignity. The act of manumission is often seen as an act of compassion, justice, or adherence to moral principles.

   Manumit is not restricted to historical contexts, as it continues to hold relevance in the present day. Though the practice of slavery has been largely abolished worldwide, there are instances where individuals are still held in various forms of servitude or forced labor. Manumit, in these cases, means to liberate those who are unjustly confined or deprived of their basic human rights.

   Overall, manumit signifies the act of setting free, granting liberty, and restoring autonomy and dignity to individuals who were previously enslaved or oppressed.

2. To release from slavery or bondage; to emancipate.
