Nguồn gốc từ

From Middle English alayen, aleyen, aleggen, from Old English āleċġan, from Proto-Germanic *uzlagjaną (to lay down), equivalent to a- + lay. Cognate with erlegen, 𐌿𐍃𐌻𐌰𐌲𐌾𐌰𐌽 to lay down. In Middle English the word was identical to forms of allege and alloy, leading to much overlapping of senses.
