Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French allée.
Etymology: < French allée way, path, lane, avenue (see alley n.1). The same French word was borrowed earlier as alley n.1Compare Dutch Allee tree-lined avenue, straight path in a formal garden (1734; earlier in sense ‘hallway in a building’ (16th cent.)), German Allee (beginning of the 16th cent.), Danish allé , Swedish allé (both 17th cent.), all in sense ‘tree-lined avenue, straight path in a formal garden’. Compare also the following apparently earlier examples, although these may instead show a variant of alley n.1 (compare alley n.1 3 and also the Middle English form allee at that entry):1591 King James VI & I Poems (1955) I. 110 God himself did leuell just The allees with his lyne..He squared [v.r. sqaired] a yard, and als he did, Plant [etc.].1676 J.
