Another interesting one from TV. Do you know the origins of 'freelance' ?

Off the top of my head I'd say it might be related to samurai traditions.


I'll be brief as I'm suffering another migraine. From Wikipedia:

"A freelancer or freelance worker is a person who pursues a profession
without a long-term commitment to any one employer.

Compare and contrast with the 'masterless samurai', or ronin... and please
pardon my obscurity.
