詞態變化
復數:?allegiances;
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，是由于與現已廢棄的法律術語單詞allegeance的混淆而出現的誤拼，然后也就將錯就錯了；lege-音變為legi-.
4. Allegiance：我力戰死。為了祖國我會力戰而死----忠誠，擁護。

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.
