Etymology
1. c.1225, from O.Fr.
delivrer, from L.L.
deliberare, from L.
de- "away" +
liberare "to free" (see deliberate). Sense of "hand over" is c.1280, which brings it in opposition to its root. Meaning "bring to childbirth" (unburden) is c.1300; that of "project, throw" is 1597.
Delivery "manner of utterance" is from 1667.
2. From Middle English deliveren, from Anglo-Norman and Old French delivrer, from Latin dē + līberō (“to set free”).
3. Compare typologically dispatch, analyzable as dis- + impeach, from Latin impedicō (also akin to impede). See: Old French '
delivrer'.
