[ˈaːlːiːt]
EredetFrom áll (“to stand”) + -ít (causative verb-forming suffix). First attested in 1636.
The figurative sense is a blend of the obsolete verb alít (“to think, claim, assert”), from al (of unknown origin) + -ít (causative verb-forming suffix) and the verb állat (“to put someone/something somewhere”), from áll (“to stand”) + -at (causative verb-forming suffix). Due to the similarity in phonetics and meaning, a false parallel was created in language usage with the verb állít (“to say with conviction, declare”), as a result alít eventually became obsolete.
