allied
On one side
Allied means joined together for a common purpose, especially through formal agreement.
Countries or groups become allied when they unite against a shared threat or toward shared goals: allied forces, allied nations.
More loosely, allied describes things closely related or connected: nursing and allied health professions. (Capitalized Allied refers specifically to the World War alliances.)
