Proto-Germanic
Etymology
Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *lewp-, *lewb-, *lewbʰ- (“to peel, break off, damage”), from Proto-Indo-European *lew- (“to cut away, remove, prune”). According to Kroonen (2013, 342), from Proto-Indo-European *lubʰ-tu-. This may be linked to Russian луб (lub, “bast”), Old Prussian lubbo (“bast, plank”) and therefore have an original meaning of "roof".
