köken: Possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ln̥téh₂, zero-grade variant of *lentéh₂ (“linden, lime(-wood)”); if so, cognate with Proto-Germanic *lindō (“linden”) (whence English linden), Proto-Balto-Slavic *lentā́ˀ (Lithuanian lentà (“(linden) board”), Russian лут (lut, “(linden) bast”)) and Albanian lëndë (“wood, material”), as well as perhaps Latin lentus (“pliable; slow”).
