Étymologie (Anglais)

Inherited from Latin plicāre (“to fold”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *pleḱ- (“to plait, to weave”). The semantic shift over time from "to fold" is also found in some other Romance cognates, and may be linked to the idea of folding sails when arriving at a port, especially in Iberian Romance where naval tradition was strong. Compare Portuguese chegar; however compare also Romanian pleca (“to leave”), with the opposite meaning, possibly because there the word was associated with folding up tents and leaving. See also the Spanish doublet plegar (“to fold”). Another theory instead derives llegar from a Vulgar Latin plicāre as a regressive derivation from Classical Latin applicāre (“apply, add, attach, join to”). Cognate with English ply.
