/ˈlaːɡɐ/

Ετυμολογία (Αγγλικός)

From Middle High German leger, from Old High German legar, from Proto-West Germanic *legr.
Cognate with Dutch leger, Middle Low German lēger, English lair, Danish lejr, Norwegian Bokmål leir, Swedish läger (“place to sleep”) and lager (“storage, stock”), Gothic 𐌻𐌹𐌲𐍂𐍃 (ligrs).
The modern form with -a- is of East Central German origin, apparently due to influence by the related word Lage. The original form with a front vowel has been preserved as an alternative—albeit fairly rare—plural.
