liska
Old High German edit
Alternative forms edit
Etymology edit
Uncertain. Perhaps from Proto-West Germanic *hlisku, *hlisiku, *hlusiku (“sedge”), diminutive of Proto-West Germanic *hlus (“reed, sedge”). The ultimate origin could be
- Borrowed from Romance/Medieval Latin lisca, though the reverse is also possible; this could be from Vulgar Latin *alisca, from Latin arista (“(ear of) corn, grain, awn”).[1]
- From Proto-Indo-European *leu, related to Lithuanian laure (“dirty person”),[2][3] referring to the mud it grows in.
- From a pre-Germanic/pre-Roman substrate language.[4][5]
Compare Middle Low German lēsch, lǖsch, lūs, lēsek, lēsik (“reed, sedge”), Middle Dutch luusch, Old Saxon hlus (“reed, sedge”).
