  "etymology_text": "Verbal noun of unterliegen, equivalent to unter- (“under”) + Lage (“position, lying, layer”). Middle High German underlāge is already attested, but only in the sense of “being defeated” (still present in the verb unterliegen, but long lost in the noun; compare Niederlage). The sense “document” from the notion of “papers used as basis, support”.",
