Etymology

Inherited from Middle French: lévre

Inherited from Old French: levre

Inherited from Latin: labrum

In summary

Inherited from Middle French lévre, from Old French levre, earlier lavras (plural) (ca. 980), from Vulgar Latin labra, originally a neuter plural of Latin labrum, from Proto-Indo-European *leb- (“to hang down, droop”). An Old and Middle French variant, leffre, may have blended with Old High German leffur (“lip”).
