What does manummission means?

In many southern states manumission was forbidden by law, or only permissible by will, meaning the slave owner could only free his slaves at his death by so specifying in his will. But, slaves were expensive and valuable, and often worth more than the land they worked, so, few large slave owners were willing to diminish the inheritance of their children by freeing a large portion of their net worth upon their death.
