Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the past participle of the verb 'allege', which stems from Old French 'alegiier' (to cite, declare) and ultimately from Latin 'allegare' (to send to, dispatch, bring forward as evidence). The suffix '-ly' was added in Middle English to form the adverbial sense indicating that something is stated as a fact without formal proof.
