Nguồn gốc từ
ine-pro First attested around 1380. From Middle English absolut, from Middle French absolut, from Latin absolūtus (unconditional; unfettered; completed), perfect passive participle of absolvō (loosen, set free, complete), from ab (away) + solvo (to loose). Influenced in part by Old French absolu. Compare absolve.
