Etymology

Of unclear origin. Phonetic variant and structure denote a substrate origin likely. Sometimes compared with Latin lacertus (“the upper arm”), Ancient Greek λάξ (láx, “with the foot/heel”), Old Norse leggr (“leg”) – themselves of disputed origin – as well as Persian (lagad, “kick, recoil”).
