In summary

From Middle Dutch lecmoes (1252), Middle Dutch lijcmoes (1459), early modern Dutch leeckmoes (1514), modern Dutch lackmoes (ca. 1620 and 1679). Equivalent to lekken + moes, the first element was later adapted by folk etymology to lak. Likely related to Old Norse litmosi, but the details of how they are related remain unclear.
