Etymology
1. 1469, from M.Fr.
lavasse (n.), from O.Fr.
lavache "torrent (of rain), deluge," from
laver "to wash," from L.
lavare "to wash" (see lave). The verb is first recorded 1542.
2. From Middle English laves, lavas, lavage (“extravagant, wasteful, prodigal”), from lavas (“excessive abundance”), from Old French lavasse, lavache (“torrent of rain”); possibly later conflated in some senses by Middle English laven (“to pour out”), equivalent to lave + -ish. Compare Scots lawage, lavisch, lavish (“unrestrained, excessively prodigal, extravagant”). Compare also English lavy (“lavish, liberal”), Dutch lafenis (“lavishness”). See: Middle English '
laven', English '
lavy'.
