Etimología (Inglés)

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-. 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”).
