Freelance

  [free-lans, -lahns, -lans, -lahns]
See Freelancer Originally a freelance was a knight (plus his lance) whose services were not pledged to a lord but were available for hire. The term now applies to writers and other workers who offer their services for hire. Oddly, the noun has mutated into "freelancer."
