See also: Libero and libéro

English

Etymology

From Italian libero (literally “free one”). So called because he has no direct opponent to mark and is therefore free to join in the offensive. The volleyball use is younger.

Pronunciation

  • (UK) IPA(key): /ˈlɪbəɹəʊ/
  • (US) IPA(key): /ˈlɪbəɹoʊ/, (nonstandard) /lɪˈbɛɹoʊ/
  • Audio (Southern England):(file)

Noun

libero (plural liberos)

  1. (soccer) A central defender to whom no forward is assigned for marking, forming the last line of defence and often initiating the offensive play.
    Synonym: sweeper
    • 2024 January 8, Sachin Nakrani, “Franz Beckenbauer, World Cup-winning captain and manager, dies aged 78”, in The Guardian‎[1], →ISSN:
      Nicknamed “Der Kaiser”, Beckenbauer was as elegant as he was dominant, and such was his assurance in possession that he came to master the modern sweeper role, or libero. More so, he is credited with creating it.
  2. (volleyball) A designated back-row player intended to be used as a ball-control specialist.

Usage notes

  • (volleyball): in volleyball rules and other official documents, Libero is always capitalised. In common usage it follows normal capitalisation rules and conventions.

1At least one use of the archaic "sigmatic future" and "sigmatic aorist" tenses is attested, which are used by Old Latin writers; most notably Plautus and Terence. The sigmatic future is generally ascribed a future or future perfect meaning, while the sigmatic aorist expresses a possible desire ("might want to").
2The present passive infinitive in -ier is a rare poetic form which is attested.
3At least one rare poetic syncopated perfect form is attested.
