助記提示


1. liege => legeance "loyalty of a liege-man to his lord" => allegiance.
2. corrupted in spelling by confusion with the now-obsolete legal term allegeance "alleviation".
3. 前綴的出現(xiàn),是由于與現(xiàn)已廢棄的法律術(shù)語(yǔ)單詞allegeance的混淆而出現(xiàn)的誤拼,然后也就將錯(cuò)就錯(cuò)了;lege-音變?yōu)閘egi-.
4. Allegiance:我力戰(zhàn)死。為了祖國(guó)我會(huì)力戰(zhàn)而死----忠誠(chéng),擁護(hù)。

英文詞源


allegiance (n.)
late 14c., from Anglo-French legaunce "loyalty of a liege-man to his lord," from Old French legeance, from liege (see liege); erroneously associated with Latin ligare "to bind;" corrupted in spelling by confusion with the now-obsolete legal term allegeance "alleviation." General figurative sense of "recognition of claims to respect or duty" is attested from 1732.
