English is somewhat unique in having these two words in its lexicon.
Liberty comes from the Latin libertas and is shared by Romance languages as the French liberté, the Spanish libertad, the Portuguese liberdade, the Italian libertà, and the Romanian libertate.
Freedom, the Germanic analog, is seen in the German Freiheit and the Dutch vrijheid.
Do these words mean the same thing to you? If not, how are they different?
