From the word’s history
From Middle English relesen, from Old French relaisser.
源自中古英文 relesen，再往前借自古法文 relaisser。
You can picture 'release' as your hand opening to let something go that you were holding back. Whatever was held — a prisoner, your grip, anger, gas in a tank, a piece of news, a brake — is now allowed to move out into the open. The verb is the act of letting go; the noun is either that act or the thing/feeling that has just been let out.
