Etymology
1. From Middle Dutch laeye, from Proto-West Germanic *laugi. It could have been borrowed through an unattested Old Frisian term.
2. See also Old English līeġ, Old High German loug and Old Norse leygr. Compare also German Lohe (“flame”), an ablaut variant of the latter two. See: Old Norse Nouns '
leygr', German Nouns '
Lohe'.
