Etymology
The word 'obbligati' comes from the Italian term 'obbligare', which is rooted in the Latin 'obligare', meaning to bind or tie. This Latin term is a combination of 'ob-', meaning 'to' or 'toward', and 'ligare', meaning 'to tie or bind'. Over centuries, as legal structures and contracts evolved, this term found its place in legal terminology to describe obligations and duties that one party has toward another. It has been adopted into English legal discussions, especially in contexts involving contracts and fiduciary responsibilities, highlighting the interconnectedness of language in legal frameworks across cultures.
