Etymology
Inherited from Middle Dutch lême, from Old Dutch lēmo, from Proto-West Germanic *laimō, from Proto-Germanic *laimô, variant of *laimaz (“glue”), probably from Proto-Indo-European *h₂leyH- (“to smear”). Compare dialectal English lair (“a bog, a mire”), Old Norse leira (“muddy beach”). See: English Nouns '
