It's not Afrikaans. It's Latin. And it's used in dozens of languages. Afrikaans is just one of the minor ones that also imported the term from Latin.

Google-fu not working today?

Liber refers to freedom meaning unfettered, being in a state of liberty. Gratis is the Latin for no charge, ie no payment, without recompense.

What you think is an Afrikaans word is used in most European countries, as well throughout the Anglosphere. It's been around in that form two hundred years before Jan stepped off his boat at Caap de Goede Hoop.
