Thanks fengwu83
Its actually from Latin
It does mean free in Dutch but Dutch is just one of the many adopted languages where it means Free.
The English term
Gratis has its origins in late Middle English; from Latin. A contraction of gratiis, It is widely used in the Afrikaans, Catalan, Czech, Hungarian, Polish, French, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Bahasa Indonesia, Scandinavian and German languages.
Here in America we know it from Spanish but Americans still know it as the word Free.
