Etymology
Uncertain, but ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *lewk- (“light; see”) + *keh₂n- (“to sing”). May derive from an unattested verb *luscīre (“to be night-blind”) + canō (“sing”), so "singing in the night" or "blind singer"; compare luscus (“one-eyed, half-blind”). Alternatively, may derive from the meaning "to see"; compare Breton lagad (“eye”), Welsh llygad (“eye”), Cornish lagas (“eye”) < *luk-ati-.
