Délivres

Délivres is a term with multiple meanings, primarily related to the act of release or delivery. In a legal context, it refers to the official release of a prisoner from custody, often after serving a sentence or being granted bail. This can also refer to the official document that authorizes such a release.

In a more general sense, "délivres" can signify the act of handing over or issuing something. This might apply to the delivery of goods, the issuance of permits, or the provision of services. The concept implies a transfer of possession or authority from one party to another.

The term can also be found in veterinary medicine, referring to the afterbirth of a mammal, particularly a domestic animal, expelled after parturition. This biological meaning is distinct from its legal or general usage.

Historically, "délivres" might also denote a certificate or testimonial given as proof of something, such as a diploma or a letter of recommendation. The core idea across these various meanings is the act of making something available or free from a previous state or obligation.
