語源

Attested in classical Latin (1st century BCE); perhaps from the unattested verb *religō (“to observe, to venerate”) +‎ -io, which could go back (via Proto-Italic *legō (“to care”)) to Proto-Indo-European *h₂leg-. (Can this etymology be sourced?) Frequently used by Cicero, who alternatively linked the word with relegō. Afterwards, the word was linked (mainly by Christian authors) to religō and obligātiō. De Vaan (2008:341), too, tentatively suggests a connection to ligō (“to bind”).
