Where this word comes from

Semi-learned borrowing from Latin ligāre, from Proto-Indo-European *leyǵ- (“to bind”). Compare the doublet liar, which may have (Old) French influence or origins, as well as the inherited Old Spanish form legar (“to tie, bind”) (in modern Spanish, this word survives as a rare regionalism, often with a specialized sense such as "tie or bind a sheep for shearing", or "to join together, unite").
