lacuとは 意味・読み方・使い方

名詞

lacū

1. ablative singular of lacus

語源

From Proto-West Germanic *laku, from Proto-Germanic *lakō, from Proto-Germanic *lakjaną (“to water, wet, irrigate, drain”), causative of Proto-Germanic *lekaną (“to leak, drain”), from Proto-Indo-European *leǵ- (“to leak”).

Cognate with Old Saxon laca (in placenames, “lake, stream, brook”), Old Norse lækr (“slow flowing stream”), 古期英語 leċċan (“to make wet, moisten”), Old Norse leka (“to drip, leak”). Maybe related to Old High German lacha (“pool, water collected in a ditch, swamp”), Middle Dutch lāke (“pond, lake, stream, brook”), Middle Low German lāke (“water pooled in a riverbed”), which could also be borrowed from lacus (“lake, basin, tank”). More at leak.^[1]
