Etymology: Pre-Greek. Has been connected to Old Church Slavonic лакъть (lakŭtĭ, “pot”), but the connection is problematic. Probably related in some way to Etruscan 𐌋𐌄𐌙𐌕𐌖𐌌 (leχtum, “a kind of small bottle; lekythos”) (see ληκύθιον (lēkúthion)). Could also be related to λάγυνος (lágunos) and λάγιον (lágion).
