Definition
To work together or communicate between groups to keep them coordinated and informed.
Etymology
From French 'liaiser,' derived from 'lien' (to bind), which comes from Latin 'ligare.' It entered English in the 20th century, particularly through military use during World War I.
Kelly Says
French military officers invented this word during WWI to describe the crucial job of officers who ran between different army units—it literally means 'to bind together' different forces!
