Etymology 2
Apparently from lācis just like the term for a female bear. This could be further supported by the fact that LĒL lists two (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Livonian terms for cloudberry, kurgmōŗa (literally “crane berry”) and okšmōŗa (literally “bear berry”), with the latter proscribed,[1] which would suggest it is a calque from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Latvian.
Noun
lācene f (5th declension)
- cloudberry, sp. Rubus chamaemorus; a cloudberry plant; a fruit of a cloudberry plant
