frisätts

Frisätts is a Swedish verb form meaning “is released” or “be set free.” It is the present passive form of the verb frisätta, which conveys the act of liberating someone or something from confinement, restriction, or control. In legal and administrative language, frisätts is commonly used to describe a person released from custody or freed by a court or other authorities; for example, “En person frisätts från fängelset” or “den häktade frisätts av domstolen.” Beyond legal contexts, frisätts can also describe the release of other things, such as funds, animals, or information, when they are allowed to flow freely again. The agent of the release, if mentioned, is usually introduced with av (e.g., av domstolen, av myndigheterna).

Etymology and derivatives: Frisätts derives from frisätta, formed from fri (free) plus the verbal suffix -s that marks the present passive. The related noun frisättning denotes the release or liberation itself, while frigivning is another term used in some contexts to indicate release from prison. Frisättning can also refer to the broader concept of releasing or unleashing something.

Usage notes: Frisätts is common in formal and official prose. In everyday language, speakers may use active forms such as frisätter (he/she releases) or synonyms like frigör (releases) depending on context. The choice between frisätts and other terms can convey nuance about legal authority, formal procedure, or the object being released.
