EMANCIPATIONかいほう[/ɪˌmænsəˈpeɪʃən/]名詞

解説

奴隷が他者の専制から、自分自身の専制へと変わること。

付記

彼は奴隷だった――命じられるままに動き、 鉄の首輪は骨に食い込んだ。 だが“自由”は主の名を消し、 鋲を締め直し、己の名を刻んだ。 ―― G.J.

Original

A bondman's change from the tyranny of another to the despotism of himself.

Additional notes

He was a slave: at word he went and came; His iron collar cut him to the bone. Then Liberty erased his owner's name, Tightened the rivets and inscribed his own. G.J.
