Etymology

Lava

From Italian, from Neapolitan and Sicilian lava (“lava”, but also “downpour overflowing the streets”). Likely in the sense of “landslide, torrent” from Latin labes (“fall”), compare labina (“avalanche, landslide”). A supposed relation with lavare (“to wash”) is now widely discredited. Neither is there probably any relation with Arabic لابة (lāba, “black volcanic rock”). (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)

Pronunciation

edit

Noun

edit

lava (countable and uncountable, plural lavas)

  1. The molten rock ejected by a volcano from its crater or fissured sides; magma that has breached the surface of the earth.
    • 1991, Martha Holmes, Sea Trek, BBC Books, page 44:
      Marine iguanas line the shores of the islands, and are usually seen sprawled over lava rocks near the sea.
  2. (informal, proscribed) Magma.
  3. A shade of red, named after the volcanic lava.
    lava:  

Usage notes
