Etymology

The noun **allié** comes from the French verb *allier*, which in turn derives from Late Latin *alligare* “to bind together, join” (from *ad-* “to” + *ligare* “to bind”). In Old French *allier* meant “to join or bind forces,” and by the 17th century the adjective *allié* was applied to a person who had entered such a binding; the noun form followed soon after.
