  Loyalty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The rise of states (and later nation states) meant the harnessing of the "loyalty" concept to foster allegiance to the sovereign or established government of one’s country, also personal devotion and reverence to the sovereign and royal family.
Loyalty is also used in context to employee satisfaction with their organization, and their propensity to exit or stay with the organization.
The English word "loyalty" came into use in the early part of the 15th century in the sense of fidelity to one’s oath, or in service, love, etc; the later state-oriented sense appears in the 16th century.
