Loyal; showing or having allegiance to someone or something.
From 'allegiance' plus the suffix '-ant' (from Latin '-ant'), which creates adjectives. It means 'being in a state of allegiance' or 'showing loyalty.'
This is a poetic and archaic way to say 'loyal'—you might see it in historical novels or fantasy epics, but modern English prefers simpler words. It's the kind of adjective that makes a sentence sound important and old-fashioned!
