"leccare" meaning in Italian

See leccare in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

IPA: /lekˈka.re/ Audio: LL-Q652 (ita)-LangPao-leccare.wav
Rhymes: -are Etymology: From a Vulgar Latin *liccāre (compare French lécher), itself probably from Proto-West Germanic *likkōn. See English lick for more. Alternatively from an early contraction of *ligicāre, denasalized from *lingicāre, from Classical Latin lingere. This is based on the analogy with *fīccāre (whence Italian ficcare), generally derived from *fīgicāre, from fīgere. However, the last-mentioned etymology (while commonly accepted) is not inevitable and at any rate requires only two theoretical steps, rather than three.

  "etymology_text": "From a Vulgar Latin *liccāre (compare French lécher), itself probably from Proto-West Germanic *likkōn. See English lick for more.\nAlternatively from an early contraction of *ligicāre, denasalized from *lingicāre, from Classical Latin lingere. This is based on the analogy with *fīccāre (whence Italian ficcare), generally derived from *fīgicāre, from fīgere. However, the last-mentioned etymology (while commonly accepted) is not inevitable and at any rate requires only two theoretical steps, rather than three.",
