In summary

Inherited from Middle French lucarne, luquarme, from Old French lucanne (“opening in the roof of a house, skylight, loft”), from Frankish *lūkinnjā (“opening closed by a valve, flap”), a diminutive of Proto-West Germanic *lūkā (“hatch, window”), from Proto-Germanic *lūkaną (“to lock, turn”), from Proto-Indo-European *lewg- (“to bend, turn”). Cognate with Middle Low German lûke (“skylight, window”), Dutch luik (“trap door, shutter”), German Luke (“hatch, hatchway, skylight”). More at lock.
