Etymology

Inherited from Middle High German: latech

Inherited from Old High German: latihha

In summary

From Middle High German latech, leteche, from Old High German latihha, lattuhha, from Latin lactuca (“lettuce”). Possibly through a Proto-West Germanic *ladukā ~ *lahtukā, though the wide variety of West Germanic forms makes such a reconstruction difficult.
