Etymology
1. Uncertain. Possibly:
2. * from Proto-Indo-European *lemb- (“to hang loosely, hang limply”), the same tentative root as Sanskrit लम्बते (lambate, “hangs down”) and English limp, a nasal-infixed form of *leb-;
3. * or from Proto-Indo-European *len-, whence Lithuanian linta (“ribbon”) and Old Norse linnr (“whether”). See: English Nouns '
limp', Old Norse Nouns '
linnr'.
