约于1400年,源自古法语 loialte, leaute,意为“忠诚,忠实; 合法性; 诚实; 良好品质”(现代法语 loyauté),源自 loial(参见 loyal)。中世纪拉丁语中的单词是 legalitas。早期中古英语形式为 leaute(13世纪中期),源自更早的法语形式。首次出现的 Loyalty oath 是在1852年。
Allegiance ... is a matter of principle, and applies especially to conduct; the oath of allegiance covers conduct only. Loyalty is a matter of both principle and sentiment, conduct and feeling; it implies enthusiasm and devotion .... [Century Dictionary, 1897]
Allegiance ……是一个原则问题,尤其适用于行为; oath of allegiance 仅涵盖行为。Loyalty 既是原则和情感问题,也是行为和感觉问题; 它意味着热情和奉献……[世纪词典,1897]
