Etymology

Cognate with Old English: lāttēh

In summary

Possibly from Gothic *𐌻𐌰𐌹𐍄𐍄𐌿𐌲 (*laittug, “lead rope”), from Proto-Germanic *laidtugą (compare Old English lāttēh (“leading rein”)), from *laidijaną (“to lead”) + *tugą (“cord, rope”). Or perhaps from Basque latigoa, possibly via Spanish látigo.
