lencse
Hungarian edit
Etymology edit
First attested in c. 1325. Borrowed from South Slavic. Compare Old Church Slavonic лѧща (lęšta), Bulgarian леща (lešta), Macedonian леќа (leḱa), Serbo-Croatian leća, Slovene leča. First used in the sense of plant. Later, after German influence, it also emerged as a medical term (in anatomy) [1787] and in optics [1799].[1] Common Slavic age form is reconstructed as Proto-Slavic *lęťa, being probably a loanword from an unidentified source.
