复数: allegiances;

助记提示


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. 前缀的出现,是由于与现已废弃的法律术语单词allegeance的混淆而出现的误拼,然后也就将错就错了;lege-音变为legi-.
4. Allegiance:我力战死。为了祖国我会力战而死----忠诚,拥护。

中文词源

英文词源


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.
