We read there
וְקִדַּשְׁתֶּם, אֵת שְׁנַת הַחֲמִשִּׁים שָׁנָה וּקְרָאתֶם דְּרוֹר בָּאָרֶץ לְכָל יֹשְׁבֶיהָ יוֹבֵל הִוא תִּהְיֶה לָכֶם וְשַׁבְתֶּם אִישׁ אֶל אֲחֻזָּתוֹ וְאִישׁ אֶל מִשְׁפַּחְתּוֹ תָּשֻׁבוּ
NIV: "Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you; each of you is to return to your family property and to your own clan."
Here, דְּרוֹר = דר-הוּא-ר, 'freedom', is from the root דרר, itself of the root family
דרר, זרר, סרר, צרר, שרר
דרדר, זרזר, סרסר, צרצר, שרשר
and also further related to
ארר, ברר, גרר, הרר, חרר, כרר, מרר, ערר, פרר, קרר
all typified by the inclusion of the uniliteral root ר R of separation.
Thus, דְּרוֹר is as צרוֹר, 'a collection of items such as loose coins or detached pebbles free, having the דְּרוֹר, being בני חורין, to move around against each other' (See: Gen. 42:35, 1Sam. 25:29, Prov. 26:27.)
