Etymology

The noun **lignée** comes from Latin *lineā* “line, thread”, which entered Old French as *ligne* or *lignee*. It was nominalized with the suffix *‑ée* to form *lignée*, originally meaning a “line” or “course” of descent. Over time the word’s pronunciation evolved, and it settled in Modern French as “family line” or “genetic history.”
