liberator

Meanings

1. 1
   noun

   a person, group, or thing that frees someone from captivity, oppression, or another constraint

   The general was celebrated as a liberator after the occupation ended.

Borrowed from Latin liberator ("one who sets free"), an agent noun from liberare ("to free"), itself based on liber ("free"). English uses it both for literal release from captivity and for freedom from political or social oppression.
