"etymology_text": "Probably assimilated to Etymology 1 above, by popular etymology, though its use probably predated the term for a doctor.\nOf uncertain ultimate origin, but possibly from a Germanic base meaning \"to pluck, tear\" (compare Old High German liochan (“to tear”)), evolving into \"suck,\" ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *lewǵ- (“to break, tear”), see also Ancient Greek λευγαλέος (leugaléos), λυγρός (lugrós), Sanskrit रुजति (rujati, “to break open, shatter, injure, cause pain”), Latvian lauzt (“to break, fracture”).\nCognate with Middle Dutch lake, leke (modern Dutch laak).",
