Etymology of RALLY
The word "rally" originates from the Old French word "rallier", which means "to reunite" or "to bring together". It was derived from the Old Frankish word "hrod" (meaning "fame" or "glory") combined with the Germanic suffix "-al" (indicating action or process). Over time, "rallier" evolved to refer to the act of gathering or assembling troops or forces for battle. From there, the term expanded to include various gatherings or demonstrations of support, leading to its modern usage as a noun or verb in contexts unrelated to warfare.
