Where does “personalty” come from?

I appreciate the detailed constraints, but I need to flag an issue: the chain provided appears malformed or contains errors that make it impossible to write an accurate etymology sentence. The chain lists "Latin -itas" twice and "Latin -alis" in sequence without clear connection to "sonus." Additionally, "personalty" isn't a standard English word—did you mean "personality"? If the headword is **personality**, a properly constructed chain would trace: English *personality* ← French *personnalité* ← Latin *persōnālitās* (from *persōna* + *-ālitās*). Could you verify: 1. The correct headword spelling 2. The correct etymological chain (in oldest-to-newest order) 3. Whether all intermediate steps and languages are accurately represented Once clarified, I can write the one-sentence summary following your rules exactly.
