Etimologia (Inglese)

Of unclear origin. Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *leh₂p- (“to shine”) and so cognate with Old Norse leiptr (“lightning”), Lithuanian liepsnà (“flame”), Ancient Greek λάμπω (lámpō, “to shine”), Lithuanian lópė (“light”), Latvian lāpa (“torch”). Another theory links the word to limpor (“clear liquid”) and/or lympha (“clear river water”). Finally, an alternative theory derives the word, perhaps via a dialectal Sabellic form, from an unattested *limp-ē- (“to be liquid”), from Proto-Italic *lin-kʷ-ē-, itself related to *linkʷō (“to leave”).
