'commitment' is the definition.
(I know that commitment can be written as loyalty)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for loyalty that I've seen before include "Faithfully allegiance" , "Alligiance and fidelity" , "Fidelity, allegiance" , "Allegiance, commitment" , "Firmness of allegiance" .)
