Etymology
1. From Proto-West Germanic *laku, from Proto-Germanic *lakō (“drainage, pool”), from Proto-Indo-European *leǵ- (“to leak”). Related to Proto-Germanic *lakjaną (“to water, wet, irrigate, drain”), causative of *lekaną (“to leak, drain”).
2. Cognate with Old Saxon laca (in placenames, “lake, stream, brook”), Old Norse lækr (“slow flowing stream”), Old English leċċan (“to make wet, moisten”), Old Norse leka (“to drip, leak”). Maybe related to Old High German lacha (“pool, water collected in a ditch, swamp”), Middle Dutch lāke (“pond, lake, stream, brook”), Middle Low German lāke (“water pooled in a riverbed”), which could also be borrowed from lacus (“lake, basin, tank”). More at leak. See: Old Norse Nouns '
lækr', Old English Nouns '
