Origin
Late 16th century (in an earlier sense). Partly from classical Latin religāt-, past participial stem of religāre to tie up or back, to restrain, bind fast, to make fast, secure, in post-classical Latin also to gather (people), and partly independently from re- + ligate (although the latter is first attested slightly later).
