English had its beginnings about fifteen hundred years ago, when the "Angle-ish" spoken by Angles and Saxons separated from other Germanic languages as the Angles and Saxons themselves, crossing the water to settle in what they would call "Angle-land," separated from other Germanic tribes. Since that time, no word has been of more significance to English speakers than freedom. This word was not carried to England as part of the Angles' and Saxons' Germanic language heritage, nor was it imported from another language. Instead, it seems to have been a homemade invention, put together from two existing Germanic words to form a distinctive concept. The elements of freedom are free and doom, to use the modern spellings. Free originally meant "beloved" and is related to the word friend. By the time English came into being, free had evolved to take on its modern meaning, with the idea that one who is beloved is a friend, free from bondage. The development of doom is more complicated. Nowadays we think of doom as a judgment--and a harsh one at that--or as an unhappy fate. A thousand years ago, in the time of the early English language, doom had a different emphasis. It did indeed mean judgment, but it meant a considered judgment, related to the present-day deem.
