Hi there

There is a word that means to "release from bondage" or "to free a slave". I think that it begins with m, but can't for the life of me remember what the word is.

Can anyone help with this?!

@sudonym,
Emancipate and/or liberate are the ones that immediately come to mind.

@cherrie,
Thanks to all the replies. Manumission was the word I was going for!

@sudonym,

I've never heard of that one.
I think I'll just forget it again.
