CITIZEN (a form corrupted in Eng., apparently by analogy with " denizen," from O. Fr. citeain, mod. Fr. citoyen)

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 397 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHR-CLI
CITIZEN (a form corrupted in Eng., apparently by analogy with " denizen," from O. Fr. citeain, mod. Fr. citoyen) , etymologically the inhabitant of a city, cite or civitas (see CITY), and in
England
  the
term
  still used primarily of persons possessing civic rights in a
borough
 ; thus used also of a townsman as opposed to a countryman. The more extended use of the word, however, corresponding to civitas, gives "
citizen
  " the meaning of one who is a constituent member of a state in
international
  relations and as such has full
national
  rights and owes a certain
allegiance
  (q.v.) as opposed to an "
alien
 "; in republican countries the
term
  is then commonly employed as the equivalent of " subject " in monarchies of feudal origin. For the rules governing the obtaining of citizenship in this latter sense in the United States and elsewhere see NATURALIZATION.
