IPA: /le.ʃe/ Audio: Fr-lécher.ogg
Etymology: From Frankish *likkōn, from Proto-Germanic *likkōną, whence Old English liccian (Modern English lick). Compare also Italian leccare, from the same Germanic source. A less likely etymology derives both the French and Italian from a Vulgar Latin root *ligicare, from lingo, lingere.
