Etymology
From Old Danish lykkiæ, lykkæ (preterite luktæ), from Old Norse lykja (preterite lukta), from Proto-Germanic *lukjaną (“to close, shut”). The modern Danish form has the vowel of the preterite and the participle. There may also be a contamination with the related strong verb Old Danish lukæ, lughæ (preterite løk), from Old Norse lúka (preterite lauk), from Proto-Germanic *lūkaną (“to close, shut”) (preterite *lauk). See: Old Norse Nouns '
lykja', Old Norse Nouns '
lúka'.
