Uncertain. The term is thought to have existed as Vulgar Latin *lausa (whence Old French lose, Old Occitan lausa), possibly ultimately borrowed from Gaulish *lausā, from Proto-Celtic *lausā (“stone”), from Proto-Indo-European *léh₁u-s ~ *l̥h₁w-és, whence also Proto-Celtic *līwos (“stone”), from *leh₁- (“stone”). However, as early as the second century BCE, Plautus' Truculentus uses a word which the manuscript tradition gives as lausum, the meaning of which has been debated and which has been often corrected to lassus or pausam, and since Schöll (1887) to lausam in the meaning known from Romance. (Alternatively, one can posit the transmitted manuscript form lausum as a neuter lemma form, from the plural of which (lausa) the feminine Romance forms derive.) :
The term lausa is unambiguously attested in Medieval Latin, but by that time is thought to be a reborrowing from Old Occitan lausa.
