1. 该词可能与let同源。
2. probably from PIE root *le- "let go, slacken" (see let (v.)).
3. 可能由此表示在封建制度中的那种具有较大自由度的但必须要臣服于君主的这种关系的相关含义。
4. 当然，如果你要将其与ligare "bind"联系起来(lig- => lieg- + -e)，表示在封建制度中的那种对其进行一定束缚的关系也可以，只是缺乏根据性，这只是一种缺乏实据性的猜测，但如果有助于理解记忆单词的话，也可以。
liege 君主，领主，臣民来自古法语lige,封建君主，领主，来自拉丁语laetus,仆人，奴隶，可能来自PIE*le,松开，放开，词源同let.原指给予一定自由的仆人，兼具有臣民和君主两个对立的词义，原用做臣子对君主的敬称，大致类似于“主啊，奴才告退”之类。
- liege (adj.)
- word used by a vassal to address his superior or lord in the feudal system, c. 1300, from Anglo-French lige (late 13c.), Old French lige "(feudal) liege, free, giving or receiving fidelity," perhaps from Late Latin laeticus "cultivated by serfs," from laetus "serf," which probably is from Proto-Germanic *lethiga- "freed" (cognates: Old English læt "half-freedman, serf;" Old High German laz, Old Frisian lethar "freedman"), from PIE root *le- "let go, slacken" (see let (v.)). Or the Middle English word may be directly from Old High German leidig "free." As a noun from late 14c., both as "vassal" and "lord." Hence, liege-man "a vassal sworn to the service and support of a lord, who in turn is obliged to protect him" (mid-14c.).
