Origin

Late Middle English (formerly also as infranchise): from Old French enfranchiss-, lengthened stem of enfranchir, from en- (expressing a change of state) + franc, franche 'free'.

emancipate from early 17th century:
The word emancipate is from Latin emancipare ‘transfer as property’, from e- (a variant of ex-) ‘out’ and mancipium ‘slave’. In Roman law it was the setting free of a child or wife from the power of the pater familias, the head of the household, a sense found in the 20th century in the campaigns for the emancipation of women. Enfranchise (Late Middle English) has a similar history coming from French enfranchir from franc ‘free’, also the source of frank (Middle English). In early medieval France only the conquering Franks (who also gave their name to the country) were fully free. Franchise (Middle English), originally legal immunity, comes from the same source.
