liege
英 [liːdʒ]
美 [lidʒ]
助記提示
1. 該詞可能與let同源。
2. probably from PIE root *le- "let go, slacken" (see let (v.)).
3. 可能由此表示在封建製度中的那種具有較大自由度的但必須要臣服於君主的這種關係的相關含義。
4. 當然，如果你要將其與ligare "bind"聯係起來(lig- => lieg- + -e)，表示在封建製度中的那種對其進行一定束縛的關係也可以，隻是缺乏根據性，這隻是一種缺乏實據性的猜測，但如果有助於理解記憶單詞的話，也可以。
中文詞源

英文詞源
- liege (adj.)
- word used by a vassal to address his superior or lord in the feudal system, c. 1300, from Anglo-French lige (late 13c.), Old French lige "(feudal) liege, free, giving or receiving fidelity," perhaps from Late Latin laeticus "cultivated by serfs," from laetus "serf," which probably is from Proto-Germanic *lethiga- "freed" (cognates: Old English læt "half-freedman, serf;" Old High German laz, Old Frisian lethar "freedman"), from PIE root *le- "let go, slacken" (see let (v.)). Or the Middle English word may be directly from Old High German leidig "free." As a noun from late 14c., both as "vassal" and "lord." Hence, liege-man "a vassal sworn to the service and support of a lord, who in turn is obliged to protect him" (mid-14c.).
