Etymology
From Dutch lakmoes, from Middle Dutch lecmoes, a compound of the cognates of German lecken (“to leak”) and Mus (“mush”). The former was later adapted to Dutch lak, German Lack (“varnish”). It seems obvious that there is a relation between Middle Dutch lecmoes and synonymous Old Norse litmosi (whence English litmus), but the nature of this relation is unsettled. See: Dutch Nouns '
lakmoes', German Nouns '
lecken', Dutch Nouns '

Lack', Old Norse Nouns '
litmosi', English Nouns '
litmus'.
