Etymology 2
[edit]From Proto-Balto-Slavic *lápas (“leaf”),[1] cognate with Lithuanian lãpas (“leaf”), Latvian lapa (“leaf, sheet of paper”). Probably akin to Proto-Germanic *lappô (“lap, rag”), Proto-Germanic *lattō (“lath, shutter, board”). C. D. Buck suggests further relationship to Ancient Greek λέπω (lépō, “to peel”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European.
