"In her third affair in as many months, Michelle is treading the thin line between a libertine and a trollop."
Latin libertinus from liber "free". The origin of the Latin root liber- is Indo-European *leudh-, which also gave Russian liudi "people" and German Leute "people". Interesting is the connection between freedom and license also found in "free-thinker."
