DISCHARGE (adapted from the O. Fr. discharge, modern decharge, from a med. Lat. discargare, to unload, dis- and earn care, to load, cf. " charge ")

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 311 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DIO-DRO
DISCHARGE (adapted from the O. Fr. discharge, modern decharge, from a med. Lat. discargare, to unload, dis- and earn care, to load, cf. " charge ") , a word meaning
relief
  from a load or burden, hence applied to the unloading of a ship, the firing of a weapon, the passage of electricity from an electrified
body
 , the issue from a wound, &c. From the sense of
relief
  from an
obligation
 , " discharge " is also applied to the release of a soldier or sailor from military or naval service, or of the
crew
  of a merchant vessel, or to the dismissal from an office or situation. In law, it is used of a document or other evidence that can be accepted as proof of the release from an
obligation
 , as of a receipt, on payment of money due. Similarly it is applied to the release in accordance with law of a person in custody on a criminal charge, and to the legal release of a bankrupt from further liability for debts provable in the bankruptcy except those incurred by fraud or debts to the crown. It is also applied to the reversal of an order of a
court
 . In the case of divorce, where the
rule
  nisi is not made
absolute
 , the
rule
  is said to be discharged.
