MANUMITTER — [Noun] A person who formally frees another from slavery or servitude. From the verb 'manumit', itself from Latin manūmittere, from manū (ablative of manus, "hand" or "power") and mittere ("to send"), literally meaning "to send from one's hand or power." The suffix -er denotes an agent. Unlike an "abolitionist," who wages a systemic war against the institution, or an "emancipator," who proclaims a broad political liberation, a manumitter performs a specific, personal, and legal severance. It is the scratch of a pen altering a ledger from property to person, the deliberate unbuckling of a collar kept polished for years, the specific, solemn breath taken before speaking the words that sever a property title—a solitary act of will that acknowledges, in its very grammar, the very power it chooses, for a moment, to relinquish.
