zámek

• (lock): From zamknout, from za- and the base mknout[1][2] (compare also odemknout, semknout, přimknout, vymknout), from Proto-Slavic *mъk- (“quick movement”) (compare Polish mknąć), from Proto-Indo-European *smeuk-, *meuk- (“to make a quick movement, to slide”).[3] But note also Old Novgorodian ꙁамъке (zamŭke, “lock”), from circa 1025‒1050 AD.
• (manor house): Semantic loan from Middle High German sloz (“lock, keep”) (influenced by German Schloss, which also means both "lock" and "manor house"[4]), itself a semantic loan of Latin clūsa (“lock, fort, fortification”).
