Etymology 1Edit

Borrowed from South Slavic, from Proto-Slavic *lěsъ (“forest, woods”), whence Serbo-Croatian lȇs／ле̑с, Bulgarian лес (les). Because of the /-i-/ < *-ě-, we can identify the Slavic dialect as Ikavian.[1][2] Alternatively, akin lëndë (“timber”), similarly to the connection of vis with vend.[3]

Etymology 1Edit

Inherited from Middle French lis, from Old French lis, generalised from the nominative singular and accusative plural of earlier lil, from Latin lilium. The final /s/ survives from the Middle French pausal pronunciation (as in fils, ours, os, tous, etc.), but fleur de lis was formerly also pronounced with /li/.
