liberam

Liberam is the feminine accusative singular form of the Latin adjective liber, meaning free or liberated. In Latin, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number, and case, so the feminine singular accusative form is liberam. As a grammatical form, liberam does not constitute a standalone word with its own entry in most dictionaries; rather, it functions as the inflected variant used to modify a feminine noun in the accusative case.

Usage and example

Liberam typically appears in sentences where a feminine noun in the accusative is described as free. For example, in the sentence vidi liberam puellam, which translates as “I saw the free girl,” liberam modifies puellam (the feminine singular accusative noun). Another example is non est liberam legem, though sentence construction may vary depending on intended meaning; generally, liberam aligns with a feminine singular noun in the same case.

Meaning and related terms

The base adjective liber conveys the sense of being free, unbound, or unrestricted, as in freedom from bondage or lack of constraint. Related Latin terms include liber, meaning “book” (a masculine noun) and libertas, meaning “freedom” or “liberty.” The feminine form liberam is one of several gendered and declined forms that allow the adjective to agree with different nouns in Latin.

Occurrence

Liberam appears in classical, medieval, and later Latin texts wherever a feminine noun in the accusative is described as free. Its usage reflects general Latin grammar rather than a distinct lexeme with independent meaning beyond the adjective form.
