Etymology[edit]
From late Old Swedish lǣkiare, remade (by way of the agent suffix -are) from earlier Old Swedish lǣkir, from (east) Old Norse *lækir (cf. Old West Norse læknir), from Proto-Germanic *lēkijaz. Equivalent to läka (“heal”) + -are (“-er”). Identical in formation to Norwegian Nynorsk lækjar and Proto-Slavic *lěkařь.
