From Proto-Italic *lakjō (“to draw, pull”), of uncertain further origin. Possibly related to lacer (“torn, mangled”).
Prósper (2019, 30-4) argues it is from the zero-grade of *deh₃- (“to give”), with a semantic evolution of “‘fraud, deception’ (< ‘decoy, lure’ < ‘something offered to sight’)” (p. 33). For the sound change, compare lingua and lacrima.
Unused outside of glosses, reconstructed by grammarian Festus Grammaticus to explain its derivatives, see laqueus, lacessō and frequentative lactō.
laciō (present infinitive lacere, perfect active licuī, supine lactum); third (-iō variant) conjugation (very rare)
