In summary

Borrowed from Middle Low German lāken, from Old Saxon lakan, from Proto-Germanic *lakaną (“sheet, cloth”). The High German cognate Middle High German lachen, from Old High German lahhan, had already been declining in use when the form Laken was introduced during the pre-eminence of the Dutch and Northern German cloth industry (14th/15th centuries). Cognate with Dutch laken.
