absolutoryadj.

Brit. /ˌabsəˈluːt(ə)ri/, /ˌabsəˈljuːt(ə)ri/, U.S. /ˌæbˈsɑljətɔri/
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin absolūtōrius.
Etymology: < classical Latin absolūtōrius favouring or securing acquittal, effecting a cure < absolūt- , past participial stem of absolvere absolve v. + -ōrius -ory suffix2. Compare French absolutoire that absolves or acquits, that grants absolution (1321 in Middle French in a legal context in lettres absolutoires, plural noun; in many early instances, it is unclear whether the context is that of secular or canon law). N.E.D. (1884) gives the pronunciation as (æ̆bsǫ·liutəri) /æbˈsɒljuːtərɪ/.
That absolves or acquits a person or thing; that grants absolution; of or relating to absolution.
