ipa :/liːn/[Anagrams]
edit
- Alne, ELAN, Lane, Lena, Nale, Neal, elan, enal, lane, nale, neal, élan
[Etymology 1]
editFrom Middle English lenen (“to lean”), from Old English hleonian, hlinian (“to lean, recline, lie down, rest”), from Proto-Germanic *hlināną (“to lean, incline”), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱley-. Cognate via Proto-Germanic with Middle Dutch leunen (“to lean”), German lehnen (“to lean”); via Proto-Indo-European with climate, cline.
[Etymology 2]
editFrom Middle English lene (“lean”), from Old English hlǣne (“lean”), (cognate with Low German leen), perhaps from hlǣnan (“to cause to lean (due to hunger or lack of food)”), from Proto-Germanic *hlainijaną (“to cause to lean”). If so, then related to Old English hlinian, hleonian (“to lean”).
[Etymology 3]
editFrom Icelandic leyna? Akin to German leugnen (“deny”). Compare lie (“speak falsely”).
[Etymology 4]
editProbably from the verb to lean (see etymology 1 above), supposedly because consumption of the intoxicating beverage causes one to "lean". Alternatively, possibly short for gasoline (“an alcoholic beverage made of vodka and energy drink”).

Back

[Proper noun]
editBack
1.A surname.
[[German]]
ipa :/bak/[Etymology 1]
editFrom Middle Low German bak (“bowl, box, chest”), from Middle Dutch bak (modern Dutch bak), from Old French bac (“large bowl”). Related with Becken, but unrelated with Backbord.The sense “dining table” is due to the fact that several sailors would eat from one bowl, so the word Back came to be used for the entire area that they shared. The sense “forecastle” might be a further generalisation because it is this part of the ship where the sailors ate and slept. Otherwise it could be derived from the sense “box, chest”.
