Simplified etymology

Redemption entered English in the Middle English period and ultimately derives from the Latin root redimere “buy back.” Ransom and redeem come from the same root.

From Middle English redempcioun, from Old French redemption, from Latin redemptio. Doublet of ransom. Displaced native Old English ālīesung, ālīesnes.
