LIVEREREN
Middelnederlandsch Woordenboek: livereren
Oudste attestatie: Maldegem, ?Oost-Vlaanderen, 1286
Aangetroffen spelling: liuere(e)r-
Etymologie: Uit Ofra. livrer 'bevrijden; (terug)geven; voorzien (in)' (Greimas).
Korte betekenis: overhandigen
1. Overhandigen, (terug)geven. In de eerste aanh. meer bep.: betalen.

So to liberate and to deliver have the same origin.
