Latin origin?

I suggest legiō via Greek λεγεών. Jafroni (talk) 19:06, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

@Jafroni: More like “council, people adhering to a joint opinion” is from لَجِنَ (lajina, “to stick or get stuck”), لَجَنَ (lajana, “to be stubborn”), لَجِن (lajin, “sticky”), لَجِين (lajīn, “sticky, something pressed together”), لَجُون (lajūn, “stubborn (camel etc.”), many quotes in Ullmann, Manfred (1973–1983) Wörterbuch der klassischen arabischen Sprache. Band II (in German), Wiesbaden: Otto Harrassowitz, page 255 seqq., augmented from لَجَّ (lajja, “to be pertinacious”). Fay Freak (talk) 22:08, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
