Proto-Germanic
Etymology
Usually assumed to have been borrowed from Proto-Celtic [Term?], compare Old Irish líaig (“healer”). Kroonen suggests that if the original meaning was instead "blood-letter", then the word can definitely be linked to *lekaną (“to leak”), implying a Germanic origin instead.[1]
