means The state of falling under gravity alone, with no air resistance or other force slowing you down — the physics definition of a pure, unresisted drop.
from A straightforward compound of 'free' (unconstrained, unimpeded) and 'fall' — the term rose with 20th-century physics and aviation, especially parachuting, where it names the stretch of a jump before the chute opens, when the body drops with nothing holding it back or slowing it down.

- air resistance ends it
- skydivers stop accelerating once drag matches gravity's pull
- same for everyone
