Alternative forms

• ли́нія (línija) — pre-1918 spelling

Etymology

Borrowed from Polish linia or German Linie, from Latin līnea (“line, thread”), from līnum (“flax”), from Proto-Indo-European *līno-. From the same Indo-European root derives лён (ljon, “flax”) (< *lьnъ (“flax”)).

The MOBA sense is a mistaken semantic loan from English line, caused by Russian-speaking gamers confusing English lane with the more familiar English term line.
