Etymology

The term 'freelancer' dates back to the early 19th century when it was used to describe a medieval mercenary. The modern meaning of a self-employed individual offering services on a project basis emerged in the 20th century with the rise of the gig economy. Freelancing has become increasingly popular in recent years due to the flexibility and independence it offers to workers.
