Etimologie (Engels)

From Middle High German lache, from Old High German lacha, lahha (“swamp, marsh”), from Proto-West Germanic *laku.
The same word in a Low German form is Lake (“brine”), from Middle Low German lāke (“standing water; brine”), the latter of which seems also to have triggered the lengthened pronunciation of the -a- in Lache. Further cognates include Dutch laak (“lake, pond, stream”), Old English lacu (“lake, pond, stream”).
