Etymology
From Proto-Finnic *lupa (compare Estonian luba), borrowed from Proto-Norse [Term?] or earlier Proto-Germanic *lubą (“praise”) (compare Old Norse lof (“praise, permission”), Swedish lov (“permission; praise”)). Attested since the time of Mikael Agricola (output c. 1543–1552). See: Old Norse Nouns '
lof', Swedish Nouns '
lov'.
