The term 'freelancer' has its origins in medieval Europe, specifically in the 12th century. In those times, knights who offered their services for a fee, rather than being bound to a single lord, were called "free lances." The word 'lance' referred to the weapon they wielded. These independent warriors sold their skills to various employers, often switching allegiances. Over the centuries, the concept evolved, and by the 19th century, it was applied to non-military professionals who offered their services independently. Today, 'freelancer' represents a diverse group of independent workers across industries, reflecting the enduring legacy of autonomy and skill-for-hire from its medieval origins.
