Shock Collar Question – February 15

I think we all know what a freelancer is……. Alexis, please tell me the Webster’s definition?

A “Freelancer” is an independent worker who earns wages through self-employment….. and normally works for various companies and not just one. 

The term dates back hundreds of years, and over time it evolved to mean the more professional definition we use today, but back then it meant something a little different. 

Today I need you to tell me what was the origin of the phrase “Freelancer?”
