[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Latin absolūtiō (“acquittal, absolving”), from absolvō (“I detach; finish; absolve, acquit”) (with the suffix -tiō, from Proto-Italic *-tjō, from Proto-Indo-European *-tis), from both ab- (“from, away from, off”), from Latin ab (“from, away from, on, in”), from Proto-Italic *ab, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂epó (“off, away”) + and from solvō (“release, loosen, dissolve, take apart”), from both sē- (“apart-, aside-, away”), from Proto-Indo-European *s(w)ēd, the ablative singular of *s(w)é (“self”) + and from luō (“I untie, set free, separate”), from Proto-Indo-European *lewh₃- (“to wash”).
