Этимология (Английский)

Унаследовано от среднеанглийский: laumpe

Родственно литовский: lópė

Родственно валлийский: llachar

Родственно староанглийский: lēohtfæt

In summary

From Middle English laumpe, lampe, from Old French lampe (“lamp, light”), from Latin lampas (“torch, lamp, light”), from Ancient Greek λαμπάς (lampás, “torch, lamp, beacon, light, meteor”), from Proto-Indo-European *leh₂p- (“to shine”). Cognate with Lithuanian lópė (“light”), Welsh llachar (“bright”). Displaced native Old English lēohtfæt (literally “light-vat”).
