Etimoloxía (Inglés)
15th century, from Vogel (“bird”) + frei (“free”). The earliest use was of persons who were free from feudal obligation and thus enjoyed freedom of movement. It seems plausible that the use for “outlawed” may be based on this, in the sense that the outlaw is forced ever to move from place to place. However, the predominantly accepted derivation is from the fact that outlaws could not be buried in Christian cemeteries and were left, as it were, to the birds. Perhaps both notions have contributed.
